Description Three Windows: London

Oxford Street may be one of the busiest places in London, but this apartment just a five-minute walk from the heart of the action is as tranquil as it gets. The Alvar Aalto designed living space is minimalist and sophisticated with floor-to-ceiling windows that flood the room with light and provide views of your bustling locale – you’ll notice a pub on the corner of Foley Street, convenient for a quick pint on your way back from the area’s designer shops or an afternoon spent poring over the artwork in the Wallace Collection, a fifteen-minute stroll away. If you’re a fan of cooking, you’ll be pleased to find high-end appliances in the kitchenette and a stylish dining table where the four of you can gather for an evening meal. And when it’s time to rest your head the top-quality mattresses will ensure you’ll be out like a light.

Home truths:
*You’ll climb one flight of stairs to reach the home’s entrance
*This home may be better suited to early risers – the blinds in the bedroom aren't fully blackout, so expect the natural light to wake you up
*Quiet hours are between 10pm and 7am
*Storage space is minimal here, so we'd recommend packing light
*There's a pub nearby, so expect to hear some noise into the early hours
