We were instantly impressed with the fantastic location of this sleek apartment, close to Bond Street, Marylebone and Oxford Street. There's no mistaking that you're right in the heart of the city here. Alongside dozens of fabulous restaurants, cosy coffee shops, charming pubs and upmarket shopping options, you're only a four-minute stroll from the underground, so getting around the city is a breeze. With such a lively location, you can expect to hear some noise from the streets below, but the central spot is worth it. Following an afternoon exploring the local area, come home to a minimal, modern living space. Immaculately presented, this pad screams low-key luxe. The kitchen island is a dream for home chefs – rustle up a tasty meal, pull up a stool and share a bottle of wine as the evening draws to a close. Just as glossy are the bathrooms, while the bedrooms, with their high-end linens and comfy beds, are the perfect respite after a busy day.

Home truths:
*While there's double-glazing, this prime locale lends itself to city noise*There's also a restaurant with outside tables across the street – this may cause additional noise during the summer months *This flat is in a serviced building – while that means this place is less lived-in and homey, it also has perks like twice-weekly cleaning and 24/7 on-call support *We thought the shower heads were a little unusual *During our visit, there wasn't a home manual
