This apartment, its location and Svetlana's hosting have all been exceptional.
We stayed here for a week of family re-union and could not have asked for a happier experience
This is a high-character apartment on two floors, super-spacious in a manner rarely found in London or New York and which creates a bright, relaxed vibe.
It presents striking, clean lines, well-appointed, elegantly furnished, and aesthetically pleasing with gallery-quality art in each room. The two top rooms are huge with beamed cathedral ceilings. The fact that each of the rooms has its own en suite bathroom allows the apartment to house a large number of people with especial ease. The kitchen could be larger but, relatively, this is a small point. Everything was immaculately clean and in good working order. The beds got high marks for comfort
Marylebone village is a hidden gem - its many (high-quality) bistros, cafes and pubs spill out onto the side-walks to convey a European mood that is all the more attractive for being absent of tourists. Its lanes are dotted with top-quality artisanal food stores - La Fromagerie and Ottolenghi among them . And yet two well-placed Underground stations are minutes away. Even better the lovely Regents Park is virtually across the street.
I can think of no other property of this size that can match this combination of plus-points
The best is yet to come - Svetlana is an incomparable host. She worked patiently with us for months before our stay and her care and attention added hugely to our time at her apartment. We were there during London's sweltering heat-wave and she rushed to make sure that we were well-enough stocked with fans to keep the large space comfortably cool. She is super-responsive and a pleasure to work with.
