Overview
First Impressions
Walking up Pilgrim’s Lane in Hampstead, you’d never guess that The Bohemian Rhapsody, Hampstead – by Out of office Lifestyle sits tucked away behind one of those classic Victorian facades. I mean, the name alone had me curious, but stepping inside this five-star property actually feels like discovering some well-kept secret that locals have been hoarding. The flat’s entrance has this understated elegance — no flashy lobby or marble everything, just thoughtful design that whispers luxury rather than shouting it.
Location & Neighborhood
Honestly, the location in Hampstead is pretty much perfect if you want to feel like a proper Londoner for a few days. You’re literally a five-minute walk from Hampstead Heath, which locals will tell you has some of the best views over London — and they’re not wrong. The village feel here is real, with independent bookshops and cafés that have been around forever, but you can still hop on the Northern line and be in central London in twenty minutes. It’s that sweet spot between peaceful residential vibes and easy city access.
The Space
The apartment itself is where this place really shines. The moment you walk into the main room, there’s this sense of space and light that’s rare in London properties — floor-to-ceiling windows and carefully chosen furnishings that feel both contemporary and timeless. The kitchen is actually functional (not one of those hotel kitchenettes where you can barely boil water), with proper appliances and enough counter space to prepare a decent meal if you’re staying longer.
Luxury Details
What struck me most were the thoughtful touches throughout — the kind of details that show someone really considered how guests would live in this space. The bathroom feels like a private spa, with that rainfall shower and heated floors that you don’t realize you need until you have them. The bedding is that perfect weight where you sink in but don’t feel swallowed, and honestly, the blackout curtains are a godsend if you’re dealing with jet lag. There’s also dedicated parking, which anyone who’s tried to park in Hampstead will appreciate.
Why Guests Love It
You know what really sets this place apart? It feels like staying in a friend’s incredibly well-appointed home rather than a hotel. The Out of office Lifestyle team has created something that balances luxury with livability — you get the high-end finishes and premium location, but also the freedom to come and go as you please, cook breakfast in your pajamas, or just sprawl out with a book from one of the nearby shops. The 9.9 rating makes sense when you experience how seamlessly everything works together, from the neighborhood charm to the impeccable interior design.

"Amazing stay, we loved it."
Everything about the property was amazing. Beautiful, clean, space was perfect, kitchen was well equiped, wifi speed was great, backyard was a plus together with the outdoor grill even though we did not use it. The staff were amazing and always responded immediately whenever we had questions. You will not regret your experience. We love walking so we enjoyed the walks to the train station which was about 7-10. Bus stop is even closer. I would definitely book with them again on my next visit to London.
What could be improved: Nothing.

"Great experience"
Perfect location, close to whatever you might need in terms of local shops, services and transportation (underground and overground). Next to the Park. Apartments well taken care of, very comfortable, felt home. Despite being in the city, it's surprisingly quiet, reminiscent of the countryside, which is a special feature of Hampstead Village. Host immediately reachable via text, I couldn't find the hairdryer and promptly I was told where it was. There is a beautiful and quite big garden space which must be a joy to use when weather is warmer.

"A wonderful stay and look forward to returning."
The location was superb, only 2 minutes to Hampstead Heath, and 5 minutes to Hampstead village and public transport. The hosts were very helpful and easy to reach if there was an issue. modern and clean flat in a very quiet street. We loved it and will hopefully be back.
What could be improved: There were some hidden costs as the verification cost with superhog. The facilities were good and modern but we would have preferred to have a kettle and toaster.
The patio area outside the flat was a little uncared for.

"Brilliant stay on the fringe of Hampstead Heath"
Perfect location if you’re looking for something in Hampstead and only 7min walk to the village.
Comfortable queen size bed, lounge with terrace is brilliant.
Felt very much a home away from home.
What could be improved: Was a tad expensive via booking.com, but would consider staying there again.

"Superb"
Un appartement aménagé avec goût, possedant une jolie terrasse, situé dans un quartier chic et calme de Londres, à quelques pas du grand parc de Hamstead (parfait pour notre toutou) et à une dizaine de minutes à pied de tous les commerces et la station de métro de Hamstead. Nous y avons été très bien accueillies.
What could be improved: Seul point ennuyeux : le stationnement de la voiture. 2 heures possibles par jour devant l'appartement, et pour le reste, il fallait se garer à East Heath Car Park, très proche mais très cher. C'est Londres !
