Modern 2BR Paddington (apartment)

Home description

Very sunny and spacious apartment (75 sqm), on the 3rd floor of a characterful Victorian terrace building, with a lift. It is modern and very comfortably furnished, as it is the owners' London home. There is a large LCD TV with full Sky TV satellite package, DVD and video player, wireless internet access and printer, and all the mod cons in the kitchen.

The living area is open plan, with an L-shaped living room and kitchen, and a dining table with seating for 4.

The apartment contains 2 double bedrooms (1 queen bed and 1 double bed), an en suite and a shower room. The en suite has a large free-standing rolltop bathtub with claw feet. The shower room has a rainfall shower, with a non-stop supply of hot water.

The location is fantastic, being one street from Paddington station (mainline and tube), and a short walk away from Lancaster Gate tube and Hyde Park. It is only 20 minutes walk to buzzing Notting Hill, upmarket Knightsbridge, and lively Oxford Street.

The South East England / Greater London region

London is definitely a global destination. Thousands of shops, hundreds of good restaurants and bars, a lively nightlife, and buzzing streetlife. There is so much to see and do in London.

My recommendation to first timers here is to walk, walk, walk! It's the best way to see everything. Another fabulous way of seeing London is from the air - try a ride on the London Eye, or go for a meal or drink (day or night) at Oxo Tower Brasserie - it's on the 8th floor of the old Oxo building on the South Bank, and has wonderful views over London. Don't forget the many museums and art galleries - British Museum, Museum of Natural History, Tate Britain, or Tate Modern.

Those who come here to shop shouldn't miss the Notting Hill end of Westbourne Grove, Bond Street, Sloane Street or Selfridge's on Oxford Street.

If you're here with children, visit the London Zoo, the London Aquarium and Diana Princess of Wales' Memorial Playground in Kensington Gardens.

Central London/Zone 1 / Paddington area

The Paddington/Bayswater area where the apartment is located, is a very exciting part of London to be staying in. It is very close to all major attractions in Central and inner West London, as well as numerous shopping areas, bars and restaurants.

Westbourne Grove is a short walk away, which has many restaurants and an up and coming boutique shopping area at the Notting Hill end. Portobello Road in Notting Hill is a 20 minute walk away, and is interesting to visit especially on market days - Fridays and Saturdays. Notting Hill is also full of many lively bars and great restaurants.

Harrods, Harvey Nichols and Sloane Street in Knightsbridge are a lovely 20 minute walk away through Hyde Park. Kensington Palace is a 10 minute walk away though Kensington Gardens, and Bond Street is only two stops away on the Central Line.

There are numerous public transport options close by. Paddington Station is very close, which contains the mainline rail station, as well as the Circle, District, Bakerloo and Hammersmith & City tube lines. Also close by is Lancaster Gate tube station, for the Central line. There are also many bus routes which pass both Paddington Station and Lancaster Gate tube station.

It is so easy to get around Central London by tube or bus, but by foot is the best! However, after a long day of sight seeing or shopping, the apartment is only a short cab ride home.

How to get there

London Heathrow is the closest airport, and provides the easiest access to the property via the Heathrow Express train service into Paddington Station. The property is one street away from Paddington Station, so walking from the station is easy (especially if you have wheels on your suitcase).

All other London airports have express train services into London mainline stations, from which you can either get a black cab to the property or catch the tube to Paddington or Lancaster Gate tube stations.

Guestbook for Modern 2BR Paddington

"Nikki was easy to work with and all our arrangements went very smoothly. The apartment was well-furnished, clean and very conveniently located -- a five-minute walk from the Heathrow Express." - Chris Jenkins, New York City USA

"Fantastic location, everything one needs is available in the flat, very friendly owner who bent over backwards to make our stay comfortable. No doubt I’ll be booking the flat again." - Kim Brown, Sydney Australia

"The welcome pack was fantastic after our very early arrival. It was a great base and so close to transport and very easy to get to all the attractions. We all really felt at home and were sad to go. I would highly recommend your flat to anyone travelling to London." - Cathy Nyhan, Thurgoona Australia

"We enjoyed very much our stay in your flat, which is surely a perfect base for a holiday in London and beyond. We must thank you for your thoughtful arrangements and your very detailed written instructions. We do hope that we can stay in your flat if we visit London again." - David Tsang, Hong Kong

"A spacious apartment with all the mod cons. Though centrally located, the apartment was quiet and the deep claw foot bath full of bubbles was welcome after walking London. Nikki and her family will greet you on arrival as a family member and ensure that you are comfortable. They are only a phone call away if you need assistance, though I doubt it will be about the apartment, for us it was help to get to Heathrow after a booked cab failed to show up!" - Carol Cook, Melbourne Australia

"Immaculately presented flat, superb location, wonderful to have a bath and beautiful towels! Even a bottle of bubbles to welcome us. Thanks Nikki." - Russel and Elwyn Scott, Wellington New Zealand

"It was such a convenient location and a very comfortable apartment with everything in it you could wish for – it has an impressive shower by any standards but particularly for London! There was a very generous amount of reference material available including restaurant guides, an A-Z, etc. which enabled us to hit the ground running with more information and less wasted time. Internet connection and cable television made it feel like home. We would happily stay there again." - Simon and Michaela Yuncken, Melbourne Australia

"Everything with the flat was perfect, and we appreciate your hospitality. Thanks for providing the detailed instruction packet, too. I will relate a funny story. Prior to coming to London, we stayed in six other accommodations. We could never get their clothes dryers to work. They would spin for a few minutes and then stop. Until we got to your apartment and read your instructions about the condenser dryer. Nobody previously thought to tell us about emptying the reservoir! So thank you again." Susan and Mark Norrell, Kansas USA

"Spacious, bright and well appointed 2 bedroom apartment in quiet location and ideal for mum, dad and our two teenagers. Great location close to Hyde Park, Oxford Street, underground transport, local pubs and a great variety of restaurants too. Who needs hotels? We will be in touch when we visit London again." Tim and Elaine Kilby, Perth Australia

"We found the flat to be absolutely perfect for our holiday in London. There was heaps of space for a family of four and the extra bathroom was a godsend with two teenage daughters. Instructions for all the amenities were explained in the finest detail and the location is perfect. Nikki was most helpful and all deposits and bonds were returned extremely quickly. We will be hoping to stay again next time we visit London." Perry and Dawn Tweed, Perth Australia

"We had a great stay at Nikki’s apartment. It was in a fantastic location close to Paddington Station which made travelling around London very easy – either by train or by foot. It was a short walk to Hyde Park and therefore within walking distance of Oxford Street in one direction and the museums in another. The apartment itself was clean, comfortable, well maintained and had everything we needed – a real home away from home. We would certainly stay here again." Sharon and Howard Toomey, Sydney Australia

"The apartment is spacious, clean and modern. It has everything needed to make one feel like staying at home: from Sky TV to laptop computer with broadband, and from Italian espresso machine to a full range kitchen. Plus the excellent location (only 3 minutes walk from the paddinton train and subway station). The apartment is definitely a 5 star in any standard. However what most impressed us is the owner Nikki and her sister Caroline who were very friendly and kind. Before our travel, Nikki had provided us with very useful travel and touristic tips which not only saved our time, but also money. She is also very efficent dealing with refund. We got our refund in the same evening we sent our bank details. All these have contributed to make our holiday much more enjoyable and memorable. Will definitely recommend to friends." Shu-Hsin & Chong-Sun, Durham England
