Do you have a question about this home or the local area?
Not only is this apartment incredibly roomy, but the location is top-notch. Regent's Park and Lord's Cricket Ground are practically on your doorstep here, making it ideal for those who love fresh air and sports matches. We think this pad is a certified all-rounder, even if the bathrooms and kitchen are a tad dated. It's set in a prestigious Art Deco building, and there's plenty of space to stretch out across the many bedrooms and bright lounge. You'll also find desks for remote working, leafy views of the park across the street, and shops, cafes, and pubs nearby.

Home truths
This home is located within an apartment building, with a shared entrance. Expect to bump into other guests during your stay. The building has a lift and porterage.
There are only two bathrooms here, which may be a bit of a squeeze when all ten guests are present.

If you'll be arriving outside of the host's office hours (Monday to Friday, 9am to 6pm), you may have to collect the keys from a nearby lockbox.
