Your hosts
Hi, we are Maciej & Magda
We run City Dreams ourselves. We choose the houses, furnish them and look after them, and when you message before booking it is one of us who answers — not an agency inbox.
Tell us who is coming and we will say which house suits, how to get in late, and where we actually eat nearby. It is the part a platform cannot do for you.
Our storyWho stays with us
Three kinds of stay
Every residence is furnished and run by us, and each suits a different reason to be in London.
Corporate elegance
The comfort of a serviced home for business travellers and relocations: fast Wi-Fi, a proper desk, and residences placed for the commute.
City escapes
A few nights of London done properly: a spa bath, a considered interior, and the city on your doorstep.
Family retreats
Room to spread out, gardens to sit in, kitchens worth cooking in, and a cot or high chair added to your booking for a few pounds.
Nothing added at checkout
Choose your dates and the total includes cleaning. No platform fee, and nothing appears later.
A live calendar
The same calendar we use on every platform, updated the moment anything changes.
Managed by the people who run them
Every residence is looked after by our own team, with someone on call throughout your stay.
What our guests say
Every review imported from Airbnb and Booking.com, shown as written. We cannot edit them.
London guide
What we tell friends who visit
The exhibitions worth the ticket, the rooftops that are free, the museums nobody queues for, and which market on which day.
Guide · Interactive and immersive
Screens you can stand inside: Outernet, Lightroom and Frameless
Three places where the art is the whole room, walls and floor included. One is free and you walk in off the street; the other two sell timed slots and are worth booking a few days ahead.
Guide · Rooftops and views
Three free viewing galleries in the City
Sky Garden, Horizon 22 and The Lookout are all free, all inside City office towers, and all release their tickets on a Monday. How each one works, and which to pick for sunset.
Guide · Free museums worth the detour
Four free museums between Holborn and Marylebone
A Regency architect's house on Lincoln's Inn Fields, a university zoology room that only opens in the afternoon, a health museum opposite Euston and a private art collection behind Oxford Street. All free, all walk-in, all a couple of tube stops apart.
Why book direct
You will find the same residences on Airbnb and Booking.com. Here there is no platform fee, the calendar is the same one, and the people you message are the people who run them.
