Host
This home is managed by Mark
This home is managed directly by its owner who will be your point of contact before and during your stay. Mark is a friendly host with a love of animals and a superb eye for all things design. Owning a young architecture firm in Bloomsbury specialising in retail and residential developments keeps him very busy, but when he’s not applying his skills to the new builds of the city, he is travelling to new spots across the globe for inspiration.
