Overview

'Cheap and Cheerful' in a Superb Location is exactly what it is. This is a small, 20 square meter (215 square feet) studio flat with lots of light and a superb location with WiFi. STRICTLY NON SMOKING
NOTE ABOUT MINIMUM STAY: Please write to ask if you wish to fill a shorter stay gap.
Note: The flat has now been repainted, the wooden Venetian blinds have been replaced with white blinds (be careful not to be too rough with the cords please), Thick white curtains for the winter. New flooring. Nice and fresh. The bath tub is old and there is a shower overhead.
The Studio: Located on the 4th floor (5th floor for North Americans), with lift, with rooftop views. The whole of one wall is window so the flat is very light indeed. One comfortable double bed, ample storage space, desk, TV, small kitchenette with microwave, fridge, sink, two ring hob to cook on, kettle, storage, cutlery and crockery.
Bathroom with wash basin, bathtub with overhead shower, toilet.
Ideal for a single or a couple visiting London for a week or more. Although small, it is very light and airy. The location is absolutely superb with the whole of London within very easy reach.
Where is it? : Just over a minute's walk from Kensington Gardens with the Peter Pan statue, Italian fountains, Kensington Palace. This just next to where Kensington Gardens joins Hyde Park. Wonderful for strolls and picnics. Walk through the park to the Royal Albert Hall, the museums of South Kensington and the up market areas of Kensington and Knightsbridge (with Harvey Nichols and Harrods).
A 15 minute walk (if you don't want to take one of the many buses or the tube) to Park Lane, Mayfair or Oxford Street (Selfridges) or a little further to Bond Street.
A 20 minute walk, or a short bus ride to Portobello Road.
Transport is fantastic in this area: The flat is a two minute walk from Lancaster Gate tube station - very frequent and short journeys to Marble Arch, Bond Street, Oxford Street, Tottenham Court Road (for Soho and Theatreland) OR to Notting Hill, Holland Park or Shepherds Bush for the largest city centre shopping centre in Europe - Westfield.
Many and frequent buses.
If this is not enough, you will be a 5 minute walk from Paddington station with the Heathrow Express, Heathrow Connect and another 4 tube/underground lines. Mainline trains to the West of England - Bath, Oxford etc, Wales.
Many buses available here too.
Queensway, a 24 hour International eating area is just a 10 minute walk away.
Super Location - London could not be easier than from this spot.
NOTE: Check in - We always try to get you in as soon as possible however, if your flight arrives early in the morning you must understand that you will not be able to enter the studio until 1100 - that is the earliest we could do it.
Check out is by 1100.
STRICTLY NON SMOKING.

Guestbook comments from the owner
Dear Derek
Thank you for the opportunity you gave me to stay in Central London for such a reasonable price. I really think I was lucky to find your wonderfully light studio at such a bargain price.
The location was superb, as you had promised and the studio, although small, was more than adequate for my six month stay.
I shall be in touch again when I next come to London.

Charming and budget friendly
We were very pleased with this place. It is a terrific price. The pictures are a bit locker and they have changed the furnishings around and it works better. A lovely duvet is on the bed. It is a great location for the tube and parks.
Don is a sweetie who gave us all the info we could need
This place is not fancy but is clean and cosy
It's four floors up and the elevator worked fine and the stairs are easy to use if you wish
We would stay there again and would and have recommended it.
Thank you for a lovely stay!
Great location
Nice quiet street. 4th floor studio, with a lift. Very close to Paddington Station, just a few blocks. Also only 2 blocks from Kensington/Hyde Park. 2 blocks from Lancaster Gate station. Clean, small. Adequate. Comfortable bed, but just a double size. Needs a bit of TLC, but worked for us.
Just what we needed
Stayed for two weeks in August, everything was exactly as stated which is always appreciated. Perfect size for two people who are out most of the day sightseeing and kitchen is big enough to cook meals as well. The elevator in the building was out of order most of the time and it is quite a trek to the top floor, but other than that we had a very pleasant stay!
PERFECT
This small self contained unit is in a perfect location close to Hyde Park, Paddington and Lancaster Gate stations. Great neighbourhood . 10 minute walk to Waitrose supermarket which Don will give you directions to. Room is small but larger than some hotel rooms I've stayed in...plenty big for two adults. We are both in our sixties and had no problems with the shower however if somebody was limited in their physical abilities, it could be a bit of a problem to get in and out. Don says that his son is going to replace it with a new shower unit which I would recommend. Elevator to the top floor is very small but worked every time. Front door to building was not always completely closed by users so a self closing mechanism would be better...for obvious security reasons. Neighbourhood was very safe and noise level during the evening was low. Bed was very comfortable. Try Sheila's Cafe on the corner....great breakfasts....although everything is in the apartment to cook your own. All in all a great place to stay ...worth the price.....great location and we will be back some day.
Small, but clean studio in a great location. Would definitely stay again on my next London trip.

A nice, little flat close to London heart
The flat is small but has absolutely everything needed for a week's vacation in London. Very light and clean. It is on the top, fourth floor, but there is a lift. Pretty quiet at night; in the evenings, though, you might hear the neighbours. The bed is very comfortable, there are two hot rings, microwave etc., exactly as advertised. A very small bathroom, a bit outdated, but clean. The location is great; steps to the Tube (Central Line), 5 minutes to Paddington Station, 10 minutes to a Waitrose supermarket, pubs/restaurants next door. Walking distance to the Kensington Palace, Royal Albert Hall, Victoria & Albert Museum. For those who like longer walks, only two miles to Piccadilly Circus, and the walk in itself is great, along (or through) Hyde Park and then nice, cosy streets of Mayfair.
The owners are great, very fast to respond and helpful. Even if you didn't have a chance to plan in advance your sightseeing itinerary, Don, the owner's dad, who will meet you on your arrival at the flat, will give you great hints so that you won't miss anything. You will find maps and other helpful tips in a box under the window-sill. There is internet connection, which is also helpful.
If you are a couple going on vacation to London, we would definitely recommend this location.
Thank you, Don and Derek, for all of your guidance and hospitality!
