If you’re looking for a well-connected stay in the heart of London, this home is hard to beat. The location is what sets it apart – just around the corner from Hyde Park and perfectly placed between Paddington and Lancaster Gate Tube stations for when you want to explore the rest of the capital. Inside, we love the bright and colourful rooms. Though the second bedroom may be slightly more compact, we think this place has everything you'll want – location, comfort, and style.
