Modern 5-Bedroom Duplex Flat near Regents Park and Great Portland St
First Impressions
Walking up to the Modern 5-Bedroom Duplex Flat near Regents Park and Great Portland St on Albany Street, I honestly wasn’t sure what to expect from a apartment rental in this part of London. But you know what? This four-star property completely changed my mind about vacation rentals in the city. The building has that classic London charm on the outside, but step inside and it’s all sleek lines and contemporary touches that actually work.
The Space That Surprised Me
Here’s the thing about London accommodations — space is usually at a premium, right? Well, this duplex throws that rule out the window. The main living area feels genuinely spacious, and I mean actually spacious, not just “spacious for London.” The kitchen is what really got me though — it’s properly equipped with everything you’d need if you’re planning to cook (which, let’s be honest, helps with the London food budget). Each room has its own character, and the beds are comfortable enough that I didn’t wake up feeling like I’d been wrestling with a rock all night.
Location Perks You’ll Actually Use
Great Portland Street station is literally a few minutes’ walk away, which makes getting around stupidly easy. But here’s what the booking sites don’t tell you — you’re also perfectly positioned for those morning jogs through Regent’s Park if that’s your thing. I spent quite a bit of time just wandering through the park, and having it as your backyard is pretty special. The neighborhood itself has that residential London feel without being too far from the action.
Why This Works for Groups
Five bedrooms means this place actually makes sense for larger groups or families who don’t want to be crammed into tiny hotel rooms. The duplex layout gives everyone a bit of breathing room — some people can hang out upstairs while others spread out in the main living area downstairs. There’s proper parking available too, which anyone who’s tried to park in central London will tell you is worth its weight in gold.
Why Guests Love It
That 9.5 rating isn’t just a fluke — this place genuinely delivers on what it promises. It’s one of those rare finds where the photos don’t oversell the reality, and the location gives you the best of both worlds. You get that local London residential experience while still being connected to everything you want to see and do. For the price point in this area, it’s actually quite reasonable when you split it among a group.
Best hotels in London blend skyline terraces, modern British style, and classic English breakfast spreads.
