Just a few minutes from Hyde Park, this apartment is ideal for those seeking a functional base in the heart of London. Being a studio, you won't find many frills here – you'll sleep on a sofa bed, and there's no dining table or oven. That said, there is a desk if you're travelling for work. Located on the first floor but without a lift, you'll need to climb stairs to reach the entrance. Close by, you'll find Paddington Station, perfect for accessing the rest of the city. When you're hungry, you'll find a vast array of restaurants within walking distance here too.
