My stay in Paddington was nice. The location was ideal, most of the things you needed were very close by. Food, shops, various means of transportation, etc. Only issues I had were, verification of the postal code to find the correct location. The second, there was a horrible smell in the bathroom downstairs, not sure of the source and we were not able to locate it. After letting the place air out for a while, it wasn't as bad. Finally, parking, parking is limited and you have to pay attention to the signs as there is residential parking by permit and street parking available. The free parking is limited and resulting in having to repeatedly moving the rental car to avoid tickets. Aside from these things, I had an enjoyable stay.
