2BR Retreat - Paddington Station

Ok apartment in an old house, great location but uncomfortable when you have to worry about heating every day. Positive: Great location, clean. Negative: The radiators didn’t work so the apartment was very cold on the first night. We used electric heaters for heating. The owner came to fix it but it didn’t work properly until the last night. The heat came on in the middle of the night. There was no black coffee.

Great location, pity about dampness, the damp smell and expensive cost. Positive: The best part of this accommodation was the location. It was close to Paddington station which was the main reason why we chose the Cosy 2BR Retreat after our previous Paddington location withdrew the property without any notice. Cosy is an apt word to describe the apartment, with the living room being the most spacious where we utilised the sofa bed for one of our sons. The other has a single bed in a tight room and the main double bed was also quite tight. There is no question regarding the equipment everything was there it was just tight. Negative: The most disappointing aspect of the property was the dampness, we just couldn't get our washed clothes dry. The folding door between the kitchen would neither stay open or closed. The ironing board did not have a cover, if there was one there we couldn't find it (we probably could have asked for help with that). To get to the apartment you had to go through a second door which cut off any air flow through the corridor where you can really smell the dampness.

An enjoyable stay Positive: The location is excellent. Negative: The second bedroom is small

Love the place. As advertised Positive: Very near to public Transport and reasonably near to supermarket (Waitrose) and halal butchers. Apartment is clean and tastefully decorated. Fits our needs for a clean secure and comfortable accommodation. Negative: The backyard to the lower ground flat which was visible from our flat was dirty and unmaintained which is a bit of an eyesore but if you are mostly of of the apartment, I guess it’s aok!

Cost and food for really short stays Positive: Proximity to the station Negative: Not enough space to keep luggage Kitchen was like a kitchenette
