The Starman

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.
*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.
