Fantasy city break

Lets pretend for a minute that we’re all at ease spending £350-a-night on holiday digs and peruse Guestbook, the latest magazine from the people of One Fine Stay. That’s the ‘unhotel’ company, whose mantra ‘live like a local’ (just not a very ordinary one) describes its business of offering swish houses in London and New York as the alternative to staying in a hotel room. The company’s first magazine is edited by Wallpaper’s Alex Bagner…

Guestbook1 …So it’s lovely looking and written to the person who doesn’t need to imagine they’re at ease with spending £350-a-night. Stay with me.

The front section includes case studies from One Fine Stay’s portfolio, shot especially for the mag with Apartamento-style realism minus its everydayness – ie there are no ugly fridges in Guestbook.

Guestbook 3

Brooklyn’s finest, owned by a Swiss handbag designer and her beautiful personal trainer husband. Be honest, would you be dissppointed  if she worked in IT and he was an office clerk?

Guestbook7 On Princelet Street, East London. See it in full here, if only to marvel at the garden more.

Guestbook6

And, nearby, another stonker on Fournier Street.

There are also interviews and a Live Like a Local feature, which in this issue focusses on Primrose Hill. Next issue Honour Oak, I bet you.
