From the moment of our inquiry, James & Kate were terrific. Their responses were quick, professional yet congenial and filled with pertinent information that gave us confidence we made a great choice right from the start.

Our arrival was smooth and the apartment lived up to the descriptions and our expectations. The furnishings were comfortable and the amenities were top notch. The shower had great pressure with plenty of hot water for four showers in the morning. The kitchen was well supplied including coffee and tea - we ate breakfast at home most mornings and even cooked dinner one night from fresh products from the Marylebone market and had everything we could want for our preparations. A basket of snacks made us feel welcome and the operations manual provided all the information we needed as well as good suggestions for the area. The wifi was fast, the cable TV plentiful and the Apple TV a special touch. The beds and linens were very comfortable and in spite of being in a bustling area , the nights were quiet enough for us to sleep with our bedroom windows open. Everything was fresh and worked well.

The area can't be beat ... a nice residential area with several nearby Underground stations to get us everywhere we wanted to go. Paddington Station is only a mile away and we walked to/from it to catch the Heathrow Express. There are an abundance of neighborhood restaurants and Regent's Park and the canal are within a few blocks for very enjoyable runs.

We are considering a trip next year to Scotland and Ireland and will definitely look at another stop at this Marylebone flat in London. It really was terrific!
