2 Bedroom, 2 Bathroom, 15 minutes to the West End
Live like a Londoner. The flat has its own entrance as originally it was a corner shop.
The open plan living/dining/kitchen is at ground level with a decorative fireplace. The kitchen is fully stocked for cooking, if you wish. It has an oven, microwave, gas hob with extractor fan, dishwasher, fridge, freezer. There are two stools for eating at a counter.
A few steps down to the two bedrooms and shower room (with toilet and basin) and en suite bathroom (Shower over tub, basin, toilet and bidet).
The master bedroom, with en suite, can be arranged as a King bed (6ft wide) or as two extra long twin beds. It opens onto a small patio where you can enjoy your morning coffee or a evening drink. Smoking is allowed on the patio.
The other bedroom has a Queen bed (5 1/2 ft wide bed).
The living room has two sofas, one of which has a small double sofa bed.
The dining room seats 6.
The entire flat is about 900 ft 2 (80 square meters).
This is a non-smoking, non-pet flat.
We provide some items for your arrival but you will probably have to get more, especially for stays of more than a few days. Items include shower gel, hand wash, toilet paper, paper towel, dishwasher tabs, dishwashing liquid, tea, coffee, oil & vinegar.
We have a crib and high chair for use at no charge, upon request. Due to the nature of the decoration, the flat is okay for 2-5 year olds only if they are well behaved. It'll save you from constantly running after them.
About Joel Schweitzer
An American living in London for more than 17 years.
Joel Schweitzer purchased this apartment in 2000
Why Joel Schweitzer chose Westminster and West End
The flat used to be a corner shop. It still has the stained glass windows with farm scenes. As I grew up on a dairy farm there was some resonance for me.
I was looking for a project and this house had to be completely redone. I have enjoyed doing it up, while learning the history of the area and the type of construction typical to London in the mid-19th century.
What makes this apartment unique
You'll like the location as it is central to the best parts of London. The area is quiet and residential but close to shops and restaurants.
We hope you, like other guests, will feel very comfortable in a flat that is like a home, much more than a rental flat or a hotel room.
Guestbook comments from the owner
We LOVED this flat! It was exactly as pictured and described in all previous photos and reviews. Perfect for 2 couples with a busy London sightseeing schedule. It's a very quiet street and only a 10 minute walk to Paddington Station (train and tube). We were so busy that we didn't get to spend much time here - our only regret! And our hosts - Joel and Nacho were WONDERFUL! Friendly, helpful, available and FUN! I will return to this flat in a heartbeat the next time we visit London. And I recommend it wholeheartedly to anyone who wants to visit London and have a clean, quiet place to come "home" to at night.

Reviews
Wonderful!
4.9/5 -
(32 traveller reviews)
Loved it!!
Excellent place to stay! Joel and Nacho were excellent to deal with and very friendly.
The location is perfect and the flat was very clean and comfortable for our family of four.
Highly recommended!
Well appointed, comfortable, good location
The hosts/owners are lovely, very responsive, and go the extra mile to make things as nice as possible. They have great suggestions for restaurants in the neighborhood. We loved our location both in proximity to the subway and other fun neighborhoods and restaurants but also because it was quiet so we could get a good night's sleep. The apartment was comfortable and kitted out with everything we needed. The ironed sheets and plantation shutters as well as the comfortable sofas made it extra nice. We are happy customers.
Great location!
We loved it here. Clean and very cozy and well equipped. Great location within walking distance from some amazing restaurants.
5 Stars in all areas
We loved our stay and would absolutely recommend!!! Flat is very nice and So comfortable! Had everything we needed and thought the location was very convenient! Loved our walk to Paddington Station. So easy! Our hosts were so gracious... we loved meeting them and will definitely book again if lucky enough to get back to London. Thank you!!!
We LOVED this flat!
We loved this flat in the Little Venice/Paddington area of London. Not only was it super cute & well equipped but it was in a very convenient spot for the Tube & Heathrow Express. The owner & manager were very attentive to detail and very easy to reach (if needed) before, during and after travel. It was perfect for our family of four (including 2 teens). Thank you for a great trip!
Fantastic Flat
Perfect for our foursome. It is decorated beautifully. Having two bathrooms is a real plus. It is within walking distance to Paddington Station, restaurants, grocery stores. It is very comfortable after a long day of sightseeing. Kitchen is well appointed.
Joel was very helpful in seeing that our stay was as pleasant as possible.
Will stay again when I return to London.
Recommend The nearby Lebanese restaurant. There is a Starbucks and a very quaint restaurant called the Bay Water. It is on a boat in the canal with indoor and outdoor seating. All within walking distance.
Cannot recommend this flat too highly.
Location
Easy access from Heathrow airport as the Heathrow Express or Connect arrive at Paddington Station. We are a 5 minute walk from there. Other airports accessible with underground, train or bus connections. Underground stations are 5 minutes walk away.
The area is a leafy residential area with canals and shops.
