The location of this flat is fantastic!!PROS:- It is a 10 minute walk to the Paddington Station & a 5 minute walk to the 2 Edgware Stations. We could get to most places in London with just 1 tube ride. - There is a Tesco Express & a Super Drug 1 block away to pick up things as well as many restaurants in the area. Both a Greggs and a Pret a Manger also a block away for morning coffee & sausage roll on the way to the tube.- The communication with the management company was great. Someone met us at the flat for a tour & to hand over the keys. In addition, we came home on Saturday night at 9:30 PM to no hot water, we emailed them thru VRBO & they had a plumber there by 10:05 who promptly fixed the issue. We greatly appreciated that.- We used the living room as a 3rd bedroom, so for 3 people we all had our own bedroom & ensuite bathroom - which was wonderful.- The kitchen & washer/dryer was nice and well equipped.CONS:- Lots of stairs. The flat is on the second & third floor. Floor 2 has one bedroom/bath & kitchen. Floor 3 has another bedroom/bath & the living room & bath. You also have to step up to get into the bathrooms from the bedrooms.- The street is noisier than we thought it would be. There is a pub downstairs that is open until 11:30 each night. On Fridays & Saturdays they have a DJ and the music is pumping. In addition, there are outside tables that people sit at and can get loud. Bring earplugs and a white noise app and to help.

The property was very clean and very centrally located close to the Paddington train station and two different underground stations and a stop on one of the hop on hop off bus tours. So we never had to walk very far to hop on transportation to get to the things we wanted to do. However, the layout of the unit was pretty disappointing. While the two bedrooms were nice and spacious, there was zero common space for all the occupants to get together and maybe sit and eat together or have a drink or something. It essentially was two bedrooms and a tiny kitchen where not more than two people could be in at the same time and then there was a third room that was listed as a “living room” (photo included), but it had zero ventilation so it was EXTREMELY hot in there so we could not use that room. But even that room was only big enough for maybe two people at a time in there so if you have more than two people you’re not gonna really have anywhere to gather. Every time we came home each couple just went to their bedrooms and hung out in each of their rooms. So you’re looking for a place where you can have a place where everybody comes back and sit and eat together this is absolutely NOT the place for you. But if you’re looking somewhere that’s just a place to sleep at night then get up and go out the next day this might be the PERFECT place for you because it’s near all the transportation spots that will get you just about anywhere.
