The people first; Simon was very responsive and friendly from first enquiry right through to the end of this stay. So much so, that I am booking again to return. Oksana, his helper, was amenable to doing some extra work for a small fee, so business travellers like me can enjoy ironed-clothes without living in a depressing hotel room.
The building; the closest you will ever get to living like Sherlock Holmes, this rustic hideaway was sitting cosily among all the serious and fancy buildings of Marylebone and Baker Street. It’s old and wooden, but heats up beautifully thanks to the modern heating system. There’s lots of amazing art on the walls to stimulate the minds while you and Watson are crime-solving, and the stereo is rich and full, just like the bookshelves.
I recommend investing in a good whisky for your stay, as the living room is the perfect place to lose yourself in a book for an hour or two, and take the load off your London-weary legs!
