Do you have a question about this home or the local area?
You'll feel right at home in this Bowie-inspired pad. The decor is contemporary with a touch of whimsy – after all, it's not often that you see an astronaut figurine in your living room. Although there's space for ten guests here (with two on a sofa bed), we recommend it for a smaller group – the bedrooms vary in size, and the living area isn't the biggest. Location-wise, you're right in the heart of London. Marylebone and Mayfair are within easy reach, Hyde Park is a short stroll away, and the shop-flanked Oxford Street is also nearby. Factor in the great transport links, and you can see why it caught our eye.

Home truths
The lead guest must be at least 25 years old.
At full capacity, two guests will sleep on a sofa bed in the living area - the price for this will be included in your booking when you input your guest count as 9 or 10. That said, we think it'll be a squeeze, so we'd suggest a maximum guest count of eight.
Please note that there's only room for six people around the dining table.
A couple of the bedrooms are pretty snug. They lack storage space and are a better fit for one adult or two children.
This apartment has an external Ring doorbell with a camera.
Your host can provide a travel cot on request, subject to availability.
Portable A/C units are available - please request this with 24 hours' notice to guarantee for your arrival.
There is a strict rule on no guests besides those in the reservation party.
No shoes are to be worn inside the apartment.
A verified photo ID is required before arrival.

Packed full of independent shops, restaurants and historic pubs, the area manages to maintain a distinctive village-feel vibe despite its very central location.
