2 Bed City Penthouse,Views,Terraces

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in Paul's flat. It was very clean and comfortable. The location was fine--a short walk to the Shadwell station and a few stops on the Underground got us to everywhere we wanted to go. Paul and his father were very helpful.

a lovely and welcoming place to stay for the marathon! much thanks to paul for communicating at every hour when needed :) his dad was lovely and made sure we had everything we needed in this funky place - little touches like orangejuice, fruit and muffins and a really relaxing place to stay in, having a drink and watching the views at night, fab shower in ensuite and red hot water which was great!

Great location, terrific apartment, especially for a family.

on a passé un séjour incroyable ! l'appartement de Paul est juste parfait ! pour son emplacement (bus à 2 min , DLR à 8 min à pied, commerce à 2 min ...) , pour sa vue des terrasses sur la city et pour son confort ( on a super bien dormi :) . voilà rien à dire de plus ! juste un grand merci pour ce super appartement, à Paul et ses conseils et à son père qui nous a accueillit avec sourire. PS : pour les novices comme moi qui prennent l'avion à Stansted l'appartement de paul est très facile à rejoindre! n'hésitez pas il est de très bon conseil !

Spending a week in london, I did not want to stay at yet another hotel. Paul's place was clean, well kept and a pleasure to live in while needing to split my time between traveling to Westminster bridge area dn Excel. Paul's place is right in the middle an easywalk from the DLR station Shadwell and Limehouse. Also discovered a terrific local restaurant with some of the most incredible Pakistani food called Lahore Kebab House on 2 Umberston Street E1 1PY. When I need to be at Excel, I would certianly return. Thank you Paul to you and your Dad for your hospitality in letting me use your home.

First airbnb experience and what shall I say, it was absolutely great. Wonderful and cool furnished apartment with unbelievable and amazing views. Just perfect for our girls weekend in London. We were lucky and even enjoyed the sun terrace for a couple of hours at 18°C in February. We always took the bus (just 2 min walk) into town even though it takes quite a while, but as it goes directly to Regent Street it is just perfect for shopping and also at nights, because it runs as a nightline aswell (N15). Thanks to Paul (via email) and his father John(in person), who are both very nice, hospitable and absolutely helpful indeed. Danke schön!! :-)

Great stay at this location. The view from both the terraces are breathtaking, especially at night. Nice appartment with plenty of space. In the preparation Paul and his father really makes you feel at home away from home. Great location to visit London since it is a short walk to Shadwell station on the DLR and from there the whole of London can be reached easily

Beautiful apartment and a very hospitable host, couldn't recommend it enough.

Paul's father was very welcoming & helpful seeing us in to the apartment. Not much time spent at the place but this is a great pad. Nice and clean with great views out East AND West. Many thanks, Paul.

Paul has an incredibly lovely 2 bed room apartment that is very close to the main attractions in London. Right from the start, Paul maintained very good communications with us by sending us a truly informative document of what is in his apartment, how to use his equipment, and the attractions and how to get about London from his space. Getting to Paul's apartment from the airport is a bit of a trek though, as you'll have to make two transfers, and then about a 10 minute walk, but its nothing that can't be done. Just don't do it during rush hour, and you should be fine. His apartment has all the modern amenities and a few bonus ones besides. He's got two bathrooms, which is absolutely great for 2 couples, and a very modern kitchen, that's fully furnished. He's got cutlery for 4, as well as plates and dishes, so if you've got the hankering to cook, you can. He's even got a dishwasher so you can just put your plates in and let the machines do the washing. A truly comfortable place to stay while you're visiting london, and not too far from the sights either. Just bear in mind, that you're only 1 minute away from a bus stop and 10 minutes away from the nearest subway stop, so if you're feeling brave, taking the bus to the attractions might actually be a much faster way of getting around. There's also probably one or two of the best Indian restaurants near Paul's place and a Gordon Ramsay "pub-style" food restaurant, plus a smattering of chicken places, so you should eat pretty well. I didn't meet Paul while I was in London, but I got to meet his father instead, and he was a fine gentleman, making sure we were well situated before leaving us. All in all, I highly recommend this location, but please do your research about your transportation options and use the buses. They're really quite convenient and can be even faster than the tube once you account for the 10 minute walk to the nearest tube. Often times it can be cheaper as well, and you'll get the slightly more scenic option.

Paul has been a mate of mine for a number of years, and has now strangely also become my boss. He is honest, hard working and quite an inspiring character to be around. He is a no nonsense kind of bloke, laughs a lot and charms the socks off of most people he meets.

I have known Paul for 3 years now one of the most genuine people you will ever meet. Really good friend with bags of personality- being a bore is something you could never accuse Paul of. I love his flat have had some memorable moments there over the years, the views are to die for.

despite the really scary photo, in reality paul is only moderately scary. He has great taste in pretty much everything and a flat i am seriously jealous of.... One of my oldest friends, he surely is a national treasure. Gary ;-)

Paul has immense integrity and honesty, a great eye for 70s design, and doesn't complain when he's being dragged around the ruins of medieval monasteries. What greater recommendation could a man have?

keywords - inspirational, motivational, unique, reliable, spontaneous yet highly organised, has introuduced me to things i would never have seens like bootcamp pilates to weird art. i have enrighed his life with shallowness and smutty humour. His London flat is amazing. It's not a flat (its a penthouse) more a tourist attraction because you get an almost 360 view of london and you can pop to the various balconies and say "right lets head that way today and see st pauls blah blah", then the next day "greenwich blah blah" because you can see it all! And if like me you resent being woken up at 9am by the maid waiting to clear you out of your room to clean, or the fact that breakfast ends at 9am or room service is £40 for a packet of crisps well you have it all here. Imagine, 4am and you say to yourself "oh my I need a garlic press," open the draw in pauls penthouse and there is one!

Paul's someone I can count on to do what he says he's going to do or redo our agreement. I can be honest with him and know he'll always be honest with me. He's got a fab sense of humour, a bit off the wall, and I just laugh thinking of some of the funny things he says or emails. He's got a wonderful zest for life. (And he hasn't paid me to say all this!)

Paul might just be the most friendly and easy going guy I ever met. I had the pleasure of staying in the penthouse for an entire week. Paul made sure I felt welcome and right at home.
