Do you have a question about this home or the local area?
Located in central London, this apartment is a comfortable base for a break in the city. The kitchen decor is a little outdated and children aren't permitted here, but for couples, friends, or even a work trip, we think it's ideal. The sofa bed can sleep a fifth guest for some extra flexibility, and the main bedroom has its own en-suite for privacy and convenience. To make your stay run smoothly, your host can arrange additional services like housekeeping, car rentals and airport transfers for a fee.
