Fiona was responsive and patient with our questions and was a superb host. We travelled with our 1 yr old granddaughter and Fiona had a crib all set when we arrived. Coupled with snack is and a bottle of wine it was a great reception. Only a five minute walk from the Baker Street underground station the neighborhood has many bars, restaurants, and shopping to choose from. We were able to easily get anywhere in the city we wanted. We’d love to return! ##### Todd M.

There was no one staying in the flat the day before our arrival. My colleagues and I arrived at 7 AM into Heathrow. We were allowed to check in upon our arrival, which really helped us with our plans. The owner communicated in a timely and generous fashion. The unit had three bedrooms. And three full bathrooms, which made our stay incredibly efficient, and we had privacy. Neighborhood excellent, transportation is easy to find. Also, restaurants and pubs abound within walking distance. We would stay here again. ##### Daniel P. Stayed 2 nights in Nov 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Leslie M. 8 Aug 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Excellent place to stay! We had a family group which included 5 adults, a toddler and a baby. We were pleasantly surprised by the overall quality, spaciousness, and cleanliness of this flat. Bathrooms were clean, modern and had plenty of towels available. Another bonus was the excellent air conditioning, which wasn't found in our other European rental units. The elevator was very helpful for managing luggage. The neighborhood seems very safe and quiet but close to a busier street for hailing cabs. We had a little trouble figuring out the washer/dryer so could have used some information about those in the manual and had a slight issue getting the key when we arrived so you might want the key lockbox code before arrival. Overall, everyone was very pleased with this property! ##### Leslie M.

Located in the lovely neighborhood of Marylebone, it offered easy access to the rest of the city and was surrounded by great dining options and shops. The apartment was exactly as advertised—clean, comfortable, and well-equipped with everything we needed. We truly enjoyed our stay and would happily rent this apartment again. ##### Cathy M.

The property is truly lovely, immaculately clean and extremely comfortable. Access to the flat is by stairs or elevator. The living & dining areas are spacious with plenty of seating. The master bedroom is very large and has a modern ensuite with separate shower and bathtub. All bedrooms have ample cupboards. The kitchen is well stocked with utensils and appliances. The flat allows easy access to bus and underground transport. I would definitely recommend! ##### Johanne H. Stayed 6 nights in May 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Ann N. 6 Dec 2024 ##### Ann N.
