The location is perfect - short walk to Hyde Park and Paddington Station from which you can get everywhere in London. The photos are accurate - a very blue apartment! There are a few things the property managers should work on to make it more comfortable:
- the apartment was freezing when we arrived and took a full two days to heat up to normal temps
- there was an extension ladder in the apartment's main hallway when we arrived; when we asked the maintenance guy to remove it he said he couldn't because he was on a bike (!) so we were tripping over it for 5 days
- the shower was non-functioning - the controls were deep in the shower, at the back, and when we turned them on, we were sprayed in the face with cold water that flooded the bathroom. The same maintenance guy couldn't fix that and said the whole rig should be replaced. So, we had no shower for the entirety of our stay.
- the clothes washer/dryer was great at washing clothes but did not dry them. We spent our last morning in London drying clothes in a launderette instead of touring - a huge disappointment.
- the water closet was carpeted, smelled of mildew and well, no comment.
To the management team's credit, they refunded us 15% of our costs - an arbitrary number.
Bottomline, great location but suggest you find another property nearby that's better maintained. We won't be going back to this one.
