Hidden on the third floor of a period building, this two-bedroom apartment makes an excellent London base for families of four, or groups that don't mind being split across different sized beds. The stylish, village-like Marylebone area has plenty of places to eat, drink and shop, while its proximity to Baker Street – home of a certain fictional detective – means the rest of the capital can be easily accessed by tube. This home makes clever use of space to accommodate a living and dining area, a kitchen, and two bathrooms, although the en-suite is slightly cramped and may have everyone preferring to share the other.
Home truths: *The standing shower in the en-suite bathroom is very small. Guests staying in this bedroom may prefer to use the communal second bathroom.
*Given the home's location beside a busy road, expect to hear some street noise throughout your stay.
*There's no lift here. You'll need to be able to climb stairs to reach the entrance of the home, which is on the third floor.
