This London apartment is in the vibrant neighbourhood of Paddington, just a stone’s throw from the train station. You’ll find cafes, boutiques, and restaurants nearby, and if you’re craving fresh air after a day in the city, Hyde Park and the canals of Little Venice are both within walking distance. The home itself has a quirky layout, with a mezzanine kitchen and steps down to a private sauna – perfect for soothing aching legs after a long day exploring the capital. We think this hidden gem is a great option for two couples seeking a city pad with excellent transport links.

Home truths
Well-behaved pets are welcome to accompany you during your stay.
The staircase leading to the mezzanine kitchen is open on one side – young children will need to be supervised when using it.
One of the bedrooms doesn’t have a window so it is lacking in natural light.
This home is near a railway, so expect to hear some noise from passing trains.
You'll have your own private entrance here.
Parking in London can be tricky, so we recommend sticking to easily accessible public transport where possible. Paddington Tube and National Rail Station is a short walk away.
