True gem boutique top floor with terrace in the heart of London

Stylish, comfortable 1 bedroom 3rd floor apartment in Marylebone Village walking distance from all main attractions. The apartment is bright, clean, renovated and contemporary decor with fantastic roof deck. Enjoy breakfast or evening drinks outside!

The flat can accommodate 2 people in the bedroom and 1 adult or kid in the sofa-bed in the living room.

A unique experience: The apartment has its own unique character and style providing the comfort and service of a hotel.
Value for money: Given London hotel rates continuing to rise, the rates of the flat can save you money vis-à-vis a corresponding average hotel offering.
Room to relax: Say goodbye to confined hotel rooms, the flat offers the relaxing outdoor space of the 40 square meters roof terrace with sofas and wood decking throughout.
Fully equipped kitchens: Guests can cook for themselves, entertain friends and family and avoid expensive room service.
More privacy: There is no hotel staff to disturb guests but the assistance needed is only a phone call away.
Central location: The flat is ideally located in an elegant, stilish, quiet area close to all the main attractions that London can offer.
Walking distance to Soho, Carnaby Street, Oxford Street, Bond Street, Piccadilly Circus, Hyde Park and Regent's Park, and museums (5 minutes walk to Madame Tussaud).

The flat is newly redecorated, very bright with 4 windows and three rooflights and guests may enjoy a relaxing stay in the earth of this exciting city.

Neighborhood. The flat is located on Marylebone High Street in the pretty Marylebone Village, where guests can enjoy all amenities such as the many boutiques, organic food shops, high quality restaurants. Guests may reach the main London commercial street (Oxford Street) in less than 5 minutes.
Marylebone Village has become an attraction for Londoners and tourists.
The area has been refurbished to luxurious standards. There are plenty of good restaurants only of top notch quality. Marylebone High Street hosts elite fashion boutiques. And you are close to both commercial Oxford Street district and the top branded Bond Street.
At night you are close to vibrant night life of the West End and Central London.
The owner can give you tips on the neighborhood.

Transportation. The flat is strategically placed in the middle of the main underground and buses routes.
Only 6 minutes walk from Bond Street and 8 minutes to Baker Street tube stations with almost all the underground lines, which can take you to your destination in minutes.
300 meters distance from Oxford street where you can catch a bus to any destination. Very useful at night when the tube closes.

Great spot
We spent 4 nights here - wife, 6 year old child. The apartment was great, good communication with the owner. So thankful for the fans provided because it was HOT that week in London (33C), without the fans we couldn't have slept at night. The rooftop is a great place for a glass of wine in the evening or coffee in the morning. Very convenient location, we would return.

Affluent Residential Experience in Posh Spirited Neighborhood!
I just finished a lovely 7-night stay in this sweet top floor flat with amazing private roof garden in the very desirable "Marylebone" neighborhood of London. Marylebone provides an upscale vibe with high-end boutiques, retail & dining. Incredible location to enjoy the finer aspects of London without the tourist crunch. The unit's previous positive Yelp reviews are justified. My Experience: Host: Professional & responsive Stairs: 50 of them.... height of the steps made climbing easier. I'm 65 with some back issues. I took my time and had no issues. Unit: Bright, Cheery, well maintained & comfortable. I used the kitchen mainly in the morning, I did host friends for dinner and had no issues with the appliances, cooking and dining supplies. Bathroom has a great large tub. Generously provided bath amenities & very high-quality plush towels! Bed was comfortable. TV-internet worked beautifully. The printed flat guide was well done and beneficial. London reached the 80's during my visit. The windows provided great cross ventilation. There were two high quality oscillating tower fans which made the unit very comfortable. Roof Garden: Nice furniture, plantings & great views. Much is written about accessing the roof top. I had no issues. Host provided a short instructional video. Walk upstairs.. position yourself at top of stairs back against skylight then stand up to lift. To close reverse action. Improvements are planned to make access easier. I highly recommend this property.

Love the neighborhood
I agree with most of the reviews here. It's a great neighborhood. The property is ok and the check in was easy. BUT.... The ad makes a point that one of the great features is the rooftop. To get to it you have to climb a narrow set of stairs with no railing and then push a very heavy hatchway up. It's so hard to do that he sends you a video on how to do it. Pulling it down is even harder because as it closes it pushes you down the stairs. It originally had a motor that operated it. When I brought this up he acted like it was a temporary problem but I see in other reviews that it's been like that a long time. I wouldn't recommend going up there unless you are young and athletic.

A wonderful flat in a great location
We had a brilliant stay in the flat. It was well furnished, light and clean. Vito kindly met us when we arrived and showed us around. It is up 3 flights of stairs so not for anyone challenged by stairs. But we managed it fine. I was there for my 70th birthday and had a great time. Comfy bed and well equipped kitchen. Which was ideal for us as we cooked each day. Although very central it was quiet at night and within easy reach of Oxford Street. A really wonderful find. Our thanks to Vito for sharing such a unique property.

Great location great apartment
This apartment is in such a wonderful neighborhood. Busy during the day and quiet at night. Terrific restaurants practically next door. Flexible check in and the housekeeper checking us in was very proactive. There is a beautiful deck but it is a little challenging to get to and you have to push up a skylight. But such a beautiful view and setting. The only thing to consider is a lack of an elevator since it is on the 3rd floor. Maybe a problem for you or maybe not.

Short Stay In Heart Of London
It’s an interesting 1-bedroom flat with a roof-top terrace. Location was great for local restaurants, shopping, supermarkets, parks, subway (to see the sights of London) and short taxi to both nearby railway stations. Although a hot few September days while there, the fans & open windows made for a cooler sleep each evening. A good 9/10 stay for a small 1-bedroom :-)

Three nights in London
The highlight was when my wife got locked in the bedroom and e had to call the fire department to get her out. The flat was clean and comfortable. I could not figure out how to watch the tv. The terrace was very nice, although the steps were very steep and the opening door was tricky to work. The walk to Oxford street was 3 blocks and there were numerous resturants along the way. Once on Oxford we were at the Bond Street Underground station. It took less than 10 minutes to get Picadiiy Theater. We were early for check-in and the host wae able to accomodate us.

Gem in the best neighborhood!
This flat was perfect for our stay. Yes, there was construction, but we knew ahead of time and it didn't detract from our enjoyment. The rooftop patio was perfect for morning coffee and evening wine. The location is within blocks of a tube station for easy access to all areas of London. The staff are friendly, very helpful and truly take care of you!

Perfect location!
Can't beat this location! Walking distance to Oxford St and close to the tube/bus. 5 stars for location. Just a few things that prevented a 5-star rating. Water pressure in the shower was very low and the sink was leaking/clogged. There was also construction going on during our whole stay happening early in the morning so made for earlier than preferred wake up calls. Other than that, Vito was great and prompt to respond to my emails/calls!

Cozy apartment in heart of London.
Just a block away from Oxford street, in the center of Marylebone neighborhood, close to both Regent Park and Hyde Park, this place is absolutely perfect. Three people can stay and sleep comfortably, but if the sofa bed in the leaving room gets replaced with a new pull over bed, 4 people can stay as well. Internet was slow to a point that it wasn’t usable at all, especially during daytime. The kitchen is fully equipped and there is a full size fridge. I can’t say anything about the rooftop or washer/ dryer there, since it was raining almost all the time. For a small apartment has a lot of windows and good exposure to light. There is a Marylebone cocktail bar down the road, worth visiting and a cheese store Formagerie with a great variety of french milk products. You will definitely enjoy the place.

Marylebone Stay
In fairness the property manager did pre warn me of the scaffolding on the entire building, and gave me the option of cancelling. What wasn’t clear, was that the building opposite has been demolished and work and jack hammering were going on 8-5 Mon-Fri.London is full of scaffolding and it’s hard to find a place without work going on. I’m back in London now & scaffolding is still up on both sides of Thayer Street. Don’t try and go onto the roof terrace of this property, you could seriously damage yourself trying to push the 50LB window open which your shoulder.

Active Construction Site
Nice apartment in a great location, but Vito only disclosed to us that the building is an active construction site about a week before we arrived. Too late to cancel or find other options in busy London. Building is covered in scaffolding, workers peeking in windows, rooftop deck a mess, noisy etc. If you have plans to stay in the next few months, BEWARE.
