Welbeck Street Four

Simple, clean and utterly soothing, this apartment is an excellent option for solo travellers or couples wanting a chic stay in one London's most charming postcodes. Handpicked art pieces hang on the bright white walls, handwoven rugs line the oak floors and Victorian features like ornamental fireplaces and crown moulding abound. The fully-stocked kitchen and cosy seating make this flat feel like a home, yet the first-rate concierge services add a hotel-like quality that we loved. They'll happily arrange anything from theatre tickets to grocery shopping, so there's no doubt you'll be well looked after here. When you're ready to explore, Marylebone has a delightful array of cafes, independent shops and restaurants to while away the evenings in – if you crave a village atmosphere in the centre of the city, then this is the spot for you. Yet with Bond Street and Oxford Street (five minutes away), Mayfair (ten minutes) and Baker Street (fifteen minutes) all a short walk away, you're still close to all the action.
