Overlooking Porchester Square, this central London apartment boasts a fabulous location and a private balcony overlooking the public garden, which guests will have shared access to alongside other local residents here. It's worth noting that this is a walk-up apartment, and while its contemporary designs are certainly stylish, its lived-in decor might not be to everybody's taste. Although you'll have the option to cook up your own meals here, the local area is filled with restaurants and cafes that you'll more than likely be keen to try. Plus, Royal Oak tube station is just a four-minute walk away, connecting you to other parts of London with ease.
