The apartment is located near three public transportation stations, one of which has the train to Bicester Village and Oxford which was very convenient. If you leave the apartment and walk for some time to the left you'll reach Marylebone High Street which is a nice area--walking down that street takes you to more shopping. There is also a large grocery store on that street which my family (parents and younger sister) frequented due to the spacious kitchen/living area of the apartment. The beds were comfortable and the stairs were not a problem for us. The bathroom was a little on the narrower side. Overall the apartment was clean and comfortable Check in time was flexible which was nice.
