As locations in London go, this apartment is in a splendid spot. It’s just moments from Paddington Station, for fuss-free travel around the city and beyond. Leafy Hyde Park is a ten-minute stroll away, and you can reach Oxford Street in less than ten on the Tube. After a day of sightseeing and shopping, this home offers a warm welcome. Bright artwork and period furnishings are paired with modern comforts like a well-equipped kitchen, and there’s a sofa bed that sleeps two. One small downside is the lack of a lift, which means climbing the stairs to the second floor. But we think that’s a minor compromise to stay in such a great location.
