Centrally located and stylishly cool, this apartment is well-suited for solo travellers and couples. It's nestled between Holborn and Covent Garden, close to an array of shops, restaurants, museums, and West End theatres. You'll also find a Tube station nearby that's perfect for zipping across London. Back home, the vibrant artwork gives this contemporary pad a pop of colour. The open-plan living space is bright, and thanks to the split-level layout, it feels bigger than it is. Upstairs, the bedroom is a tad snug, but the en-suite is a nice bonus.

Home truths
The maximum occupancy here is two guests. It may be possible for a young adult to sleep on the sofa, but you'll need to request this in advance.
We think the bedroom is a little snug, but there is decent storage.
Cleaning services are provided once a week.
The entrance to this apartment is on the ground floor, but you'll need to climb down a few stairs to reach the living area and up another small flight to the bedroom mezzanine.
Your host provides a welcome pack with snacks, tea, coffee, and biscuits.
