The property has recently been remodeled and is very clean. The kitchen worked great as well as the washing machine.Tim was a gracious host and responsive.
Tim was the absolute best host! This was a surprise trip for my daughter and he went out of his way to make it special for us both! Can’t thank him enough! Location was great! Flat was clean and lovely. If you are planning to go to London, I recommend you stay at Tim’s place!
We had a great stay. It was exactly as expected based on the photos. It was clean, comfortable, stocked with what we needed and surprisingly quiet when windows were closed. Great location near Hyde park.

Hi Anjum - Many thanks for being fantastic guests and for taking the time to write a review.
We loved the apartment . It was so compact and equipped. The location was very convenient to access the tube . A quaint neighbourhood . Tim was quick to respond to our many questions making our trip enjoyable. Thanks so much
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!
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.

Nice stay - convenient location.
Dryer was a drying rack and not an actual dryer.
Comfortable bed and nice bedsit.
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.
Great flat, great communication, spotless, absolutely no issues apart from the 32 shock Tim assured me he will try and sort before my next visit

Dear Marylou
Many thanks for the great feedback. It was our pleasure to have you as our guest. The communication was prompt and you looked very well after my place. You will always be welcome back anytime.
Thank you!
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.
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.
This apartment was exactly as pictured and listed. Very clean and everything worked great. Tim was very easy to work with and so communicative with excellent instructions and service. Definitely recommend this flat.
