Very good

Very nice little place. Conveniently Close to trains, busses, and underground. Host was difficult to reach. NO hot water in either kitchen or bathroom sink. Getting room keys was very difficult for me with my cane to reach.I would stay there again but would hope for a better check in process.
The flat is nice, good communication with the owner, the walls are a bit thin.

We were very confused about the check in process. We were sent a very detailed description that still had missing details. After a day of traveling it was not ideal to run around looking for a lockbox that we were sent an incorrect picture of. The hot water as well throughout the trip only lasted 3 minutes a time. We told the host who had sent maintenance over but assured me there was no problem, which we still had issues with the rest of the trip. We would’ve been understanding but the host made it seem like we were complaining about things that were not an issue for past guests. The lift was also broken the entirety of our trip and we carried our luggage up 4 flights of stairs the entire time. I was also told the first day of arrival our freezer is broken, the host asked us to manage this by letting it melt and cleaning up the water that defrosted. Our first day I cleaned moldy ice water out of the mini fridge. The door to the apartment gave us issues the first day because it has no handle, the first night I spent locked out for 2 hours because the host did not answer our calls until the next morning. We later found out the door has three separate locks instead of two. I think clearer directions on that would be helpful. There was also a broken window in the apartment that stays cracked open. I told the host and they said it’s old and working on getting it replaced, but my friend got sick. The location was ideal and we did enjoy the stay, just expected fewer inconveniences

I loved my stay
It's small and the walls are pretty thin. But my neighbours weren't overly loud, so that was never an issue.
My only complaints are that some of the dishes weren't as clean as I had hoped, and there was no cutting board. Also, the images online made it look like there might be a bathtub/shower hybrid thingy in my flat, but there wasn't (it was just a shower). It's also important to note that the street outside can be somewhat busy with nightlife at times and that the windows don't dampen the noise much. There's a cafe' right beside the venue, but the noise quietened down around 11 pm.
The service was very kind though and after asking for a second blanket, it was delivered the very next day.
Overall, I enjoyed my stay enormously. I didn't mind any of the complaints I listed that much and was quickly wrapped up in the atmosphere and the spirit of the beautiful area I found myself in: Hyde Park is two minutes away from the apartment, Paddington station is a 10-minute walk tops, and so I was able to explore at my own pace without the need to pay for public transport.
I had a wonderful time.
Tel que décrit dans l'annonce, l'appartement est bien situé à 5 minutes de marche de Hyde Park, de la Gare de Paddington et du métro. Il y a plusieurs restaurants autour pour déjeuner et leurs cafés sont bons :) Cependant, l'appartement no 29 laisse à désirer sur plusieurs points: l'entretien ménager semble être fait en surface et le maintien de l'ensemble de l'appartement est assez faible. Exemples: le fauteuil est très taché, de la moisissure est visible au plafond de la salle de bain, un seul petit appareil de chauffage est disponible et celui-ci n'est pas entretenu, (mousse dans la grille), et l'autre radiateur: impossible de le faire fonctionner, les oreillers supplémentaires étaient tachés et n'avaient pas de taies d'oreillers. Nous n'avons pas eu d'eau chaude dans le lavabo et dans la cuisine; la pièce pour remplacer le chauffe-eau n'arrivait pas avant la fin de notre séjour !!! Le détecteur de fumée trainait sur le comptoir; nous l'avons replacé et vérifié s'il fonctionnait. Contrairement aux autres appartements, il n'y avait pas de poignée pour fermer la porte. Nous devions claquer la porte en partant... L'hôte devrait s'assurer de fournir sur place des instructions pour utiliser la douche et autres appareils qui nous sont inconnus, nous voyageurs d'outre-mer. Un appartement bien rénové et bien situé dans la ville, nous suggérons fortement à l'hôte de prendre en compte les commentaires faits depuis un an et de faire les rectifications. Ce serait tout a son avantage.

Otimo lugar para ficar em Londres, com um bom custo x benefício!
excelente localização, tudo limpo, espaçoso, porém o banheiro é muito pequeno. A acústica é ruim, nossa sorte que o vizinho foi silencioso, mas dava para ouvir o som da TV e das conversas. O check in foi dificil por demora e erro nas informações.
While very basic, the property was in a great location. Convenient to buses and trains, and the neighborhood offered many pubs and restaurants. If you’re just looking for a place to sleep as you spend the day out and about, this place fits that bill.
Parfait pour un court séjour si on veut surtout passer du temps à l'extérieur car appartement vraiment petit mais propre et bien situé.

I stayed for a week with my daughter.
Was a great base and the flat although small had everything we required.
People who had stayed previously had left some bits and bobs which was really helpful.
Bathroom was really small and for a larger lass like myself i did slightly struggle but managed.
A small foldable bedside table would be handy as would a small step ladder as cupboards are very high for someone petite.
There was a small stool but it was not stable but i was grateful my daughter was with me who was taller and able to reach some of the shelves.
I would definitely recommend and the host was very good in regards to communication.
Our stay in London went well. Jane is a very helpful host. She gave us all the information we needed for our stay and answered all our questions.
Regarding the flat, we couldn't find any cutlery ! Otherwise, we had everything we needed. The cleaning was correct. The space is bright. The only "problem" was the soundproofing. We could hear our neighbours. Fortunately, the street was fairly quiet. Also, we didn't spend much time in the flat as we spent our days exploring the beautiful city of London. In fact, the flat's location is a major advantage when visiting the city !
Loved our stay in Paddington. Such a central spot for so many nearby underground lines and bus routes. The apartment was great. Was actually quite spacious for a studio. We were a little sceptical reading past reviews but everything was honestly fine. Shower got hot quickly and had good pressure. Big comfy bed. Huge window overlooking the street. The lift was super convenient. Loved having the mini kitchen for simple meals. Only thing was the heating was just a small fan heater, we managed fine but maybe in the colder months it would be cold at night. Two of us stayed there for a week and we had no issues, definitely recommend for an affordable stay in the best area of London.
The flat was tiny but perfect if you plan to adventure all day and just need a place to lay your head at night! The location was super easy to get anywhere you needed. We walked to Kensington Palace and a show at Royal Albert, and it’s close to two tube stations and multiple bus stops! Communication with Jane was thorough and easy. There is no in unit laundry, but we used a quaint launderette and deli combo directly across the street to freshen up halfway through! For people with large luggage (we had been traveling for a month prior), there is a small lift in the building, but you do have to pick up the keys to the flat from another location a few blocks away. It’s on the way to the flat if you take transit to Paddington, but you’ll have to walk a little bit if you take a car!
Overall I enjoyed my stayed at the property.
Location wise - extremely convenient as Lancaster Gate train station is literally a 5 min walk.
Neighbors were quiet and the bed was nice and comfy
The location of this flat was superb! Easy to get to pretty much anywhere in London thanks to its proximity to Paddington station. Also just a short walk (around 20 mins) to Notting Hill, which was a perfect way to spend a chill morning. Lots of dining spots nearby, too. Jane offered lots of info in her messages, and the check in and out processes were super straightforward and fuss-free.
A couple notes: this space is tiny!! Definitely better for visitors who are planning on being out most of the day and evening, but still very comfy to come back to. The walls are also thin, so you can hear neighbours and street noises; if you’re a light sleeper, I would recommend some ear plugs, they worked a dream at filtering out extra noise.
Excellent location close to both Paddington and Lancaster Gate. Great for Heathrow express. The key box was a little tricky to find a few blocks away but Jane is an excellent communicator and made the process easy. The fridge and Wi-Fi didn’t work and eventually Jane solved any problems by moving me to another suite in the building. I needed the Wi-Fi for work so I appreciated her solution! The first apartment leaked when it rained but that might be a building issue. Overall Jane was an excellent host and her place is perfect for a single of couple to explore London.

The best thing about this property is the location. It’s in a central area, only a few minutes walk to train stations. There are grocery stores and many cafes and restaurants in the area. If location is your main priority, this place is good. However, the cons are the unit itself. The place is tiny and I understand that that’s hard to control but there are many opportunities to make this stay better. At check in, we had to pick up the keys from a lock box at an outdoor parking lot, a 3 min walk away, so not very convenient especially at night. The utensils and kettle were dirty. It was a hot week in London and they provided a fan that was still in a box so we had to build it ourselves. The host didn’t respond to my questions either, so other than check in and out, the communication is lacking. I would not book this place again.

Did not stay
The elevator was out of order which made it impossible for two elderly people with health issues to stay. We had to cancel but the manager graciously refunded our money due to this problem.

Apartment in 23A CRAVEN TERRACE, London
if it was not for the restaurant people, I couldn't carry my suitcases up 4 floors. The elevator been out of service for TWO MONTHS now.
And lots more.and the handy men had to repair even the sockets for my plugs
The apartment is cold, dank and has insufficient heating. The apartment leaks when it rains through the windows and the electrical sockets shorted out frequently. I wouldn't even call this place safe let alone nice. Further, you can hear everything in the apartments next door including one neighbour to has his TV constantly.
