Well appointed and spacious studio apartment adjacent to Hype Park - sleeps 3/4.  Map

This well appointed and spacious studio apartment is on the lower ground floor (lift) of a portered mansion block built about 1910. It's in a great location just a couple of minutes from Marble Arch (tube - Central line) and Oxford Street. The wide open spaces of Hyde Park are just across the road.

The apartment sleeps 3 in a double bed (fold-away) and a single bed (fold-away), with a possible fourth (child only) on the large sofa. There's one bathroom.

Although this is a lower ground flat it's surprisingly light. It views onto private gardens where squirrels can be seen scurrying in the trees; the half-height sloping retaining wall is painted white and reflects light into the flat.

Despite being situated on a busy thoroughfare there is no traffic noise as the apartment is at the rear of the building. A gentle rumble (the Circle line tube) is heard on a regular basis, however it lasts no more than 10 seconds and is no louder than a distant overhead aeroplane.

The living/sleeping area (16ft9 x 14ft9, 5.10m x 4.50m) is furnished with a three seater sofa (suitable for a child to sleep on), a very large armchair (that converts into a 3ft wide single bed), writing desk, chest of drawers, side tables and standing lamps.

The 39in (99cm) flat screen TV and DVD player is connected to a surround-sound home cinema system. The DVD player has a plug-in socket for a lead from an iPod so you can play your favourite music in full surround-sound stereo!

There's a wifi high-speed broadband internet connection.

In "night mode" the large armchair converts into a 3ft wide single bed and a full sized (5ft) bed emerges from the wall cupboard.

The dining table is in the surprisingly spacious hallway and seats 4.

The kitchen has all the expected appliances including a microwave, and washer/dryer, but no dishwasher.

The bathroom is tiled and has a bath + over shower, basin and loo.

Your local shopping is in Connaught Street, 2 minutes away, where there's also a variety of restaurants, cafés and your local pub - The Duke of Kendal.

You're just 5 minutes from Oxford Street and SERIOUS shopping and Park Lane where there are some of London's smartest hotels. The wide open spaces of Hyde Park are just across the road.

This is a No Smoking property.
