I am a maths teacher and I live with my 24 years old daughter who finished university and studied Economy and politics . I am offering guests a double room with an extremely comfortable double bed and shared bathroom with the family. In the room there is one double bed, wardrobe and study table and TV. Internet is available 24 hours a day, free of charge. I live very centrally within walking distance of lots of bars and nice restaurants. The apartment is located very close to several underground stations and the nearest bus stop is only a 3-minute walk away.
I provide all my guests with a very warm welcome and make them feel like they are at home. I have hosted many visitors from around the world and provide guests with a very clean and comfortable place to stay.

We give our guests full details about the area and how to get around .
The flat is located in a well-established and popular neighbourhood of London called Paddington.
My daughter and I are interested in meeting new people and learning more about different cultures. We like walking, reading, cinema, swimming & theatre.
Paddington Walking distance to Hyde park, Little Venice, Queensway,
Marble Arch and Oxford Street. The flat is 5-7 minutes walking to 3 underground train stations (Paddington, Warwick Avenue and Royal Oak).
There are lots of nice restaurants, bars, cafes and supermarkets.
The area is very safe.

Paddington is very close to Heathrow Airport and a train gets there from Paddington station in just 15 minutes using Heathrow Express.

    This was a great place to stay! The area is located close to several tube stops, and in a very nice neighborhood for walking (Little Venice). I always felt safe in the neighborhood, even walking home from the tube late after a theatre performance. The flat itself is exceptionally clean and mostly very quiet, and my room was large and comfortable. I didn't cook for myself, but the kitchen is more than adequate for anyone who chooses to cook. If I were going back soon, I would book with her again. Worth every penny!

    I had a great time staying with Melek. The location is fantastic, very close to Paddington Central with plenty of cafes and restaurants, and the tube station. Melek is lovely and so helpful. She took me to a tour showing me around, which was so nice. I also liked being able to use the kitchen. Melek keeps the flat very clean. I can definitely recommend staying with her. I would love to come back and stay with her again.

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?

Host and Guest email address, phone number and home address will be exchanged in a confirmation email sent to both immediately after a booking is completed. It's against our policy for Guests and Hosts to exchange direct contact details via our messaging system.
