Welcome to my home! You'll be staying in a clean, modern one bedroomed 2nd floor flat in Marylebone/Regent's Park.
Easy walk to West End (& most London theatres) in a bright industry friendly apartment.
Important Note - Please message prior to booking & read guest requirements. I only have 3 weeks left (in 2024) under London letting rules.
It's my home, but I'm renting it to guests in the similar field (we're writers and industry friendly). You'll have full use of the flat, apart from the 'landlord's cupboard'.
THE FLAT:
My flat is clean, calm, modern/minimal, but cosy. It's clutter free (I'll throw most personal stuff in the landlords cupboard), but with a creative feel, as we're both writers. Flat is about 500 Sq Feet. The double bedroom (double bed) is a good size, with a clothes rail and a new tallboy chest of drawers, as well as a Rourk radio. The sitting room (TV, Radio/CD player) and kitchen are a good size for a couple. Kitchen is well stocked with a cafetière etc. I'll leave milk, tea & coffee for arrival. The bathroom is white tiled/good size, with new shower over bath. There are large windows in the sitting room which open onto the lane, and the window in the bedroom is filled by a beautiful tree during summer and autumn (with the most amazing yellow/orange leaves). I'm central London, but located down a quiet tree lined lane. Once the double glazed windows are shut it's pretty quiet, (although you may hear the bin men - but they are not loud enough to disturb my sleep). I am super sensitive to noise and this is quiet flat (generally you can sit with the windows open and not hear traffic etc). You rarely hear the neighbours as the building is properly sound proofed. It is central London though, so you may hear occasional street noise. Dyson purifier in the bedroom, as I like to sleep with the windows shut. Blackout blind in the bedroom. Guest pillows, bed linen/towels (all new) and a zipped protective fabric cover on the mattress. The heating is electric (and warms up fast), but the flat's well insulated so I rarely need to put the heating on. The building has full CCTV and secure entrance. The flat has secure locks (inc a security lock, installed by a security company). The lane is well lit, as is the building entrance.
The area is ideal for theatres.
WEST END:
The West End is 3 stops on the Bakerloo line (my flat is 3 mins walk to Baker Street tube) or a 14 min cab ride to Soho/West End. Or you can walk to Soho (30 minutes) and West End (about 40 minutes).
REGENTS PARK THEATRE:
The park entrance is 4 minutes walk away with a 13 min walk to the theatre.
OTHER THEATRES:
I'm very central, so most theatres (in all directions) will be a short walk or tube ride away.
TRANSPORT:
You're located 3 minutes from Baker Street Tube. The bus stop on Baker Street going north and into West End. Kings Cross/Euston are 13 minutes on the tube, Paddington is 10 minutes by tube or 23 minutes walk. Marylebone station/ tube is 5 minutes walk. Short stay metered parking on the lane or nearby streets. Longer stays in the multi-story car parks nearby.
SUPERMARKETS:
There's a full Waitrose on Marylebone High Street. Tesco at end of lane, a Tesco & Sainsburys on Baker Street, M&S in Marylebone Station and a Co-op near Baker Street tube.
THE AREA:
You'll be located in north Marylebone, near Marylebone High Street, Baker Street & Regent's Park. Marylebone High Street (Marylebone Village) is a 10 minute walk away, filled with great restaurants and cafes - so if you have down time you're next to a calm, safe but vibrant high street. Marylebone has become super chic and smart in the last five years, so there's an array of beautiful shops and good restaurants. Daunts Books is a lovely old building and there's the Wallace collection and Wigmore Hall near Marylebone High Street. And there's always the option of a walk (or jog!) in Regents Park (Entrance to park is 4 mins away). Soho is a 30 minute walk (or a couple tube stops) and I've always found the area to be fairly safe and regularly walked back (often from the West End) in the evening. Hampstead (& the glorious ponds) are about an hours walk. There's a farmers market in Marylebone (behind Waitrose) every Sunday morning. There'a a Waitrose and newly opened Bayley & Sage (beautiful pasta), as well as La Fromagerie selling an array of cheeses.
HOUSE RULES:
Strictly no smoking of any kind (inc e-cigarettes, vaping, illegal substances). Strictly no guests, no parties. Plus leave flat clean on departure. If staying for longer than 2 weeks, plse also do basic cleaning during stay.
