**Thriving in the Heart of London**If you’re looking for a place that feels less like a rental and more like a well-thought-out home base, this is it. I stayed here for London Marathon weekend, and it absolutely delivered.The flat is beautifully appointed with everything you need—and then some. Can we talk about the hairdryer? Not the sad, wheezy kind you usually get, but a legit professional model that handled my thick hair like a champ. Small detail, big win. Lighting is another standout: bright overhead when you need it, soft ambient and floor lighting when you don’t. No “one lonely lamp in the corner” situation here.The smart TV was seamless (every app you could want), and the bed? Genuinely comfortable—critical after 26.2 miles.The neighborhood is vibrant and full of life. Evening walks brought waves of incredible aromas—Middle Eastern dishes, decadent pastries, and cozy cafés with people lingering over coffee and hookah. It’s the kind of place you want to wander without a plan.Location-wise, it’s hard to beat. An easy 7–10 minute walk to Paddington Station, and for 32 you’re on the Heathrow Express in first class, sipping your coffee while cruising to the airport in 15 minutes.And do yourself a favor: visit The Monkey Puzzle Pub. After the marathon, I ended up there for dinner and was treated like a local celebrity—my medal made the rounds with the regulars. Would stay again in a heartbeat.

The studio apartment is small, but very comfortable, clean, and well stocked with basic needs. We were able to use the washer, but couldn’t get the dryer to work. The apartment windows face a major street, so it was a bit noisy. The location was very convenient to food markets, bus and subway and Hyde Park.

Ideal location for our visit to London

The location of the flat was perfect for our vacation. We had several walks in Hyde Park and accessed several of the nearby Underground stations to get around the city when we had walked enough for the day. Don't miss Mehmet Efendi 1953 Edgware Road for amazing Baklava, just around the corner!

This apartment was perfect for our few days in London! Safe neighborhood, lots of restaurants, 2 tube stations within walking distance. Clean and well appointed apartment with many necessities provided for cooking, etc. The washer/dryer was a big help! Thank you, Tim, for a great stay and we hope to be back again!

Perfection

Tim is an excellent host. He is very prompt in answering questions. The flat was exactly as pictured. The location was fabulous. Everyday we used the underground, a 10 minute walk, to take us to everything we wanted to visit. There are numerous restaurants and convenient shopping. Would definitely syay there again.

Short break in London

Very cosy and well kept pied a terre close to Marble Arch and Edgware Road Undergrounds. Oven/Hob/Washing Machine/Freezer all nearly new (but we didn’t really try them out) a couple of pot towels would have been useful plenty hot water but no bath plug (I think to encourage people to use the excellent shower)We enjoyed Moco and Frameless, the local attractions.

Bed bug alert

An illegal short term rental according to signage posted in the lobby. A bed bug bite and a visit on the bedding by a large bed bug highlighted my stay. After advising the owner, no apology, simply a reference to the bed bug issue being one they try to manage to the best of their ability.

Well appointed flat near sights, transportation links

I chose this flat due to its proximity to Paddington (we could walk to the station in less than 15 minutes), and to many other great locations - Kensington Gardens/Hyde Park, Marble Arch - we easily walked all the way to Buckingham Palace and Parliament. The flat itself was spotlessly clean, well designed, and had everything we needed - thanks for the tea selection! Other travelers should note that the flat does face Edgware Road, but the triple-glazed windows keep out any street noise.
