Sandwiched between Holborn, Covent Garden and Shaftesbury Avenue, this apartment could not be better located. You're truly in central London here, only a short walk from West End theatres, fashionable shops, and trendy eateries. It's not the most modern apartment, but the pared-back interiors are bright and cosy. There's also plenty of space for a couple or solo travellers, and furry friends are also welcome for a fee. For a convenient, comfortable pad in the heart of the city, it does the trick just fine.
