You’ll find this elegant, non-fussy apartment in London’s busy Holborn. Complete with everything you need, this home makes for a fantastic base for an urban retreat. Think well-appointed kitchen, dining table with space for you and a couple of friends, superior quality linens on a ridiculously comfortable bed and a squashy couch for you to relax on after a non-stop day in the city. After a hearty breakfast and a strong cup of tea, step out and explore. You’re less than a five-minute walk from two traditional pubs, a leisurely twenty-minutes from the bustling Covent Garden and just over fifteen from the British Museum. Jump on the Central line at nearby Holborn tube station towards edgy Bethnal Green in the east and well-to-do Mayfair to the west.
