Overall, a nice apartment in a great location - only a very short walk to Paddington. There is lots of space, a nice modern kitchen, and the beds were comfortable. There are convenience shops and restaurants nearby.
The check-in process was disappointing. There were a lot of emails from the managing agent, and you have to provide a lot more info than if you stay in a hotel (including copies of passports for everyone staying). To get the keys you either have to pay ยฃ30 for someone to meet you, or pick them up from the shop up the road. This is fine, but the agent hadnโt actually sent me the code I needed to collect them, so I spent five minutes anxiously standing a shop with my luggage, wondering if I had been scammed.
The main things that affected the stay negatively once I had actually accessed the property were a broken window blind in the bathroom (so get ready to flash the people across the street when you shower!), a broken table (the leg fell off at one point), and there being no fans, so the bedrooms were incredibly hot.
I would stay again for the location, but I would hope these issues would be sorted.
