Located in the heart of Central London, just moments away from Trafalgar Square, you'll find all of the exciting sights and sounds of the city right at your fingertips. The home features a bright double bedroom with plenty of storage space, while the small terrace offers a charming outdoor area to unwind after a busy day of sightseeing – a real rarity in the city. At capacity, two people will be sleeping on a double sofa bed in the living area and there's enough space for all guests around the dining table. It's also worth noting that there's no lift here, so you'll need to climb stairs to reach the entrance of this fifth-floor home.
