Description Central Solace: London

Situated mere footsteps from the thrum of Oxford Street, this well-appointed, central London apartment is ideal for those who want to stay in the heart of the action. When you’d like to take a break from the hustle and bustle, Hyde Park is around a fifteen-minute walk away. The design inside is sleek and sophisticated, with a good deal of space for relaxing across the open-plan living area and two bedrooms. Our favourite feature is the private terrace, though. There aren’t any views to speak of, but it’s still a fine spot to enjoy a cup of tea in the mornings and a glass of wine in the evenings.

Home truths:
*Those with limited mobility or heavy luggage should note this is a first-floor apartment with no lift access. It has a small private entrance via Binney Street.
*If you're travelling for work, you won't find a dedicated desk here. However, the dining table doubles up as a laptop-friendly workspace.
*If you need to pick up provisions during your stay, there’s a Marks and Spencer supermarket a five-minute walk away.
*The terrace is small and requires stairs to access. It's also a little overlooked, but it's nice to have a private outdoor space in London.
