Obsidian Blue

Located in affluent Marylebone Lane, this stylish London pad is perfectly placed for upscale shoppers and business travellers after a hotel-style stay in the thick of the action. Just a quick ten-minute stroll from Oxford Street, a sixteen-minute walk to trendy Soho and near to Selfridges and Bond Street, you're surrounded by boutiques, restaurants and cocktail bars. Back home, the design of this swanky digs is a minimalistic dream, full of sleek furnishings and deep blue tones. Sink into the plush velvet sofa with a fashion magazine or show off your new purchases under the skylight overhead. Come together for convivial meals in the Scandi styled dining area with Eames-inspired chairs – the modern kitchen will make cooking a delight too. Although, we think you'll spend most of your time eating out with central London's excellent international cuisine right on your doorstep.

Home truths:
*This is not a lived-in home, so it feels more similar to a serviced apartment than to a traditional home
*It's on the fourth floor of the building with no lift access, so you will have to climb a total of thirty-five stairs to reach the home
*We would have liked to have seen some more entertainment options here – bring your own Bluetooth speaker, books and magazines
*A minor point we know, but the showerhead is a handheld one
