Our Story

Marlex Apartments was founded with one vision in mind — to create a trusted home away from home for travelers in London. We started by offering a handful of high-quality apartments and have since grown into a respected name in serviced accommodation.

Over the years, we’ve hosted leisure travelers, families, professionals, and corporate groups — each with unique needs but the same desire for a smooth, reliable stay. Our journey has been guided by one principle: every guest deserves comfort, convenience, and care from check-in to check-out.

As we continue to expand, our promise remains the same — to provide welcoming spaces where people can feel at home, no matter how long they stay.

★ THE FOUNDER
MEET THE FOUNDER

Marie Achebe

Founder & Chief Executive

Marie Achebe founded MARLEX Apartments with a clear vision — to bring reliability, consistency, and professional standards to London's short-stay and serviced accommodation market.

Known across the UK as the "Airbnb Queen", Marie has built a six-figure short-term rental business from the ground up, managing 50+ properties across the UK through her own operations and those of her hosting students. Her approach combines automated systems, disciplined management, and genuine hospitality — the same principles MARLEX Apartments is built on.

Beyond running MARLEX, Marie is the founder of the Digital Property Boss Academy, where she teaches property investors and landlords how to scale rental operations without needing to own property. Her teaching philosophy — "not gatekeeping, just teaching" — is the same ethos that drives MARLEX's transparent, trust-first approach with every guest and partner.
