It’s hard to believe that serene, canalside living is just a seven-minute walk from the bustling transport hub of Paddington Station. This flat offers a zen-like stay in England’s capital, with incredibly modern sensibilities and extra touches of luxury. From the offset, you can make the most of your host’s generous offerings, like airport transfer and a fridge fully stocked with groceries. Before heading inside to explore the home, have them arrange an in-house spa service for you that afternoon, and a private chef to cook dinner in the evening. As for the interiors, your living space is sleek and stylish – glass accents, grey feature walls, dark wood, and natural elements like twig decorations and flowers create an altogether sophisticated vibe. With two long windows at the end of the lounge, you can see directly out to your private patio. Again the use of plants and foliage creates a soft, natural feel, while concrete tiles and square flower pots bring a cool, industrial edge. It’s the perfect spot for unwinding with an Earl Grey, before heading out on a twenty-minute walk to lush Regent’s Park, (where you can really escape city living).
