Many thanks to Rene for extending her hospitality. We are especially appreciative of the early check in, which was certainly an inconvenience to her. We are also thankful for goodies that were left in the kitchen and fridge, the flowers indoors and out that perked up the space, and the terrific personal introduction to the flat. Always very responsive to our queries, we would unreservedly recommend her as an A+ host.
This flat is spacious and fun. The kitchen is very well equipped, and the entire three levels were spotlessly clean.
Marylebone has lots to offer in the way of shops and restaurants, and Oxford St./Selfridges was a short walk. The closest Tube stop is Bond St., which is about a ten minute walk (which we did so often we wished were a bit closer).
The flat is on a mews behind a small hospital, which was only an issue in the morning (starting around 8am) when there are deliveries and trash pick-up. We were glad that this wasn't a "sleeping-in" vacation, because it was quite loud.
On the whole, we were very happy with our stay!
