One of the best stays ever.

If I could rate our stay higher than five stars, I happily would. Marie was so easy to communicate with and very helpful about restaurants and other things. The flat itself was amazing. I think it was built around 1840 and still has some of the original marble floors and hardwood. Everything there, though, was totally modern. The kitchen was fully stocked with every kitchen, tool, and appliance you would ever need. It’s also in a very convenient location and in a very nice neighborhood.

Paddington Perfect

Our family thoroughly enjoyed staying in Marie’s beautifully appointed home during the holidays. The flat is centrally located and so close to the tube and shopping nearby as well as easy access to all London has to offer, theatre, museums and Hyde Park just a few blocks away. We highly recommend this beautiful home and are very thankful to our gracious host - we hope to return soon and would definitely stay at Marie’s again.

Wimbledon stay

Property is in a great location with plenty of walking opportunities for pubs, dinner, shopping and just enjoying Hyde park. We came to London to see Wimbledon and that was amazing. Marie is a gracious and extremely responsive host so that was all very much appreciated (even when some unexpected issues arose) Really enjoyed our time in her flat.

Elegant London Flat near Paddington

The space, the location, the TV, the internet speed, the fully outfitted eat-in kitchen, the comfortable beds, the 2-1/2 bathrooms, the washer & dryer, the pretty dining room, the turntable with a selection of vinyl and the elegant decor made for a fabulous and very comfortable month long stay for us in London! The owner response and communication was also very good.

From the location to the beauty and function of the flat, it’s a perfect choice for London. We stayed for a week and it was a wonderful home base- such a relaxing place to return after our long days exploring.

Beautiful flat in a perfect location.

This flat is a gem. Marie was wonderful to work with and very responsive. It’s an easy walk from Paddington Station, so using the Heathrow Express to/from the airport was very easy. There is also parking if you need a car. We would absolutely stay here again.

Beautiful flat

My husband and I stayed here for a week and loved the flat! Marie's decorating is gorgeous. It is spacious, well stocked and convenient. Marie was a dream to work with - proactively communicated with us, was warm and friendly and very organized! Our only (slight) issue was that there was construction nearby and there was a bit of noise during the day- a temporary situation obviously and not a problem at night. The proximity to Paddington was convenient- although that area is pretty busy/industrial.....the areas toward the park and to the west were more charming. Marie also left a book of suggestions that highlighted restaurants, bars and attractions that we found very helpful. This is a real winner for location, customer friendliness and beautiful aesthetics!!

Positive Family Fun!

Took a trip to London with my 2 Adults Daughters - our first of hopefully many more!! The Flat we stayed in was a pleasure to be in! Reality meets the pictures! The service was outstanding overall! The only real hiccup was slow internet wifi...but that could be a good thing - forces you to talk more! haha! The Flat has all the adult amenities needed! Overall - it was a joy and fun to stay!

Wonderful flat to call “home” during our holiday week in London

Very elegant historic flat, nicely furnished and equipped, lovely residential neighborhood conveniently located within short walking distance to parks and tube station, and other amenities. Very comfortable and quiet to get a good night’s rest. We cooked our Christmas dinner in the kitchen, which was well equipped. Owner was very attentive and responsive to all inquiries. In short, a memorable vacation stay, highly recommended.

Luxurious Comfort

This property is second to none. Absolutely gorgeous in every way. From the furnishings to the finishes, this apartment has it all. Everything you could possibly need is there for you - and with an extreme level of comfort and style. No expense has been spared. The bedding, the living room, and the ultra-chic fully appointed kitchen all won me over...so much so that I was happy to spend the odd day without even going out. The photos are 100 % accurate I would challenge anyone not to love spending time here. We were greeted by the property owner, who was an absolute delight. And such a fabulous location is just another bonus. Go there, you won’t be disappointed ! If the opportunity arises, I will definitely return .

About the host

Hosted by Marie Wold

Host profile image
I live between London, Portugal’s Algarve and Scottsdale, Arizona in the United States. I have degrees in economics from St. Catherine's Collage, Oxford, and Johns Hopkins SAIS. I own a software company in San Francisco, and travel extensively.

Why they chose this property

Live in the opulence or the old world in heart of London with all its modern conveniences. This is not a rental flat, it is a home. Although central, it is a quiet oasis, as the flat is set back from the street and the main bedroom is in the back of the flat and has secondary glazing.

What makes this property unique

It has a private entrance. You feel as if you are walking into a house, so there are no neighbours to bump into in any corridor.
