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. Marie couldn’t have been more gracious- this will be our choice for a future London getaway!

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, travel extensively, sing poorly, and can make a mean margarita.

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 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 cooridore.
