This is a modern apartment situated in the heart of London. We reside in Paddington, Little Venice where we have the beautiful canal, large willow trees, canal boats, canal cafes and much more. Enjoy the nature surrounding my area as well as walking access to many major tourist spots, such as hyde park, Madame Taussauds, Regents Park, Notting Hill, Portobello Market and more.

The beauty of living in the heart of London is that there are activities for all to enjoy. Enjoy a lovely walk at sunset on the canal, or enjoy a trip to Camden via boat, just from our door step. Take the tube to trendy East London in just 20 minutes, and explore all the markets and cute coffee shops. Prefer museums and architecture? No problem. We are lucky enough to live right next to 3 tube stations, Paddington is a 7 minute walk away, where you have access to the rest of London. Warwick Avenue and Royal Oak, are both a 5 minute walk away also giving you easy access to the rest of the city. As well as many bus links that take you all over the London. Therefore wherever your interests lie, you can do it all!

In our sleek, modern home, you will find a mother and daughter. My daughter is a recent design graduate working on various projects, she is kind, warm and welcoming, and loves to meet new people. I am a Legal Interpreter, who has found a passion for hosting. I have been hosting guests from all over the world for many years now, I have met the most incredible people, and have shared great memories with so many of them.

In the apartment, we have a fully equipped kitchen, including a Fridge, Stove, Oven, Microwave, Kettle and more. There is a marble breakfast bar where you can enjoy your own breakfast in the mornings, and we can share a glass of wine in the evening if you feel like socialising. One Bedroom includes a double bed, a dressing table, bedside table, and a wardrobe where you may hang your clothes. The second bedroom includes 2 single beds, a desk, 2 bedside tables, and a wardrobe. These are all the essentials every traveler needs. Of course we have a modern bathroom too, with a waterfall shower head, a hand bidet, a clean toilet. And last but not least, we have a lovely balcony and garden, where I have dedicated many years filling it with plants and flowers. I have spent many evenings sat on the patio with some wine and music, enjoying the summer air. This is also the smoking area. I am very lucky to have a garden in central London, and it is the heart and soul of my flat, where I would sleep if I could. LOL

At home we speak 3 languages and we teach English and Arabic. Upon arrival, I am happy to give you details about the area, give you some more tips on getting around and places that are a must see.

I am keen to make my guests comfortable and feel like they are at a home. I look forward to meeting you!

With Kindness,
Salwa

    Hello, what to say about Salwa... If you hesitated, I tell you stop hesitating, Salwa is the good host !!!! I thank her for everything she has done, I come from France, I am 19 years old I was a little afraid to go alone and she reassured me, helped me once I arrived. She showed me around, she was like a mom. She has a daughter, who is just great, they put me at ease directly. The apartment is clean, it is well located. Salwa thanks, thanks, thanks for everything, your kindness, your hospitality. (Sorry for my English I keep progressing)

    Très sympathique accueil de Salwa . Nous avons passé un agréable séjour, l appartement a 2 grandes chambres et petit jardin où se reposer. Il est proche des bus, du métro et a côté de la petite Venise pour une croisière sur la rivière. Nous reviendrons avec plaisir.

How do I book?

Contact the host to check their availability and ask them any questions you have about staying with them. Once the host confirms they’re available for your dates, you can complete your booking.

When do I pay?

You then pay your host on arrival or as stated by your host on their profile and agreed by you on booking. Please be cautious if a host requests advance payment if its not included on their profile. Our hosts have been advised that if they wish to request advance payment they must make this explicit in their profile. We do not recommend the use of Money gram or Western Union.

When can I share my contact details?
