The Antiquarium

Located in a lesser-known market street in Lisson Grove - home of the Lord's Cricket Ground and within walking distance of Marylebone and Edgware Road stations - this two-bedroom apartment of traditionally English interiors would suit a group looking for a more authentic London stay. Spread over several floors, it features an attractive sitting room with velvet sofas and plenty of old books, a spacious master bedroom with high ceilings and exposed beams and a brand new master bathroom. Finally, there's a quirky rooftop terrace, accessed through one of the bedroom windows.

Home truths:
* Your host will post the keys directly to you via Fedex - please contact them for further arrangements

* Guests staying in the second bedroom will use a double sofa-bed

* The second bathroom is not quite to the same standard as the master bathroom with the walk-in shower

* The TV in this home is in the second bedroom

* This is a very characterful home filled with traditional-style furniture - if you are a minimalist at heart then this probably isn't the one for you

* This is a lived-in home which is of course what gives it its charm and character but there may be some signs of wear and tear

* Your host kindly asks you remove your shoes in the home
