Here is our pick of the top 5 holiday homes. Make your choice and treat yourself to a luxury stay.

Book Hitchcock's Map now: from £150 per night Do you appreciate idiosyncratic design? This bright and bijou apartment has the stuff in spades: each room has its own aesthetic and vibe, from the chic, tiled kitchen to bedrooms adorned with psychedelic or flower print wallpaper. A real steal, it suits business travellers based in Stratford, or anyone looking to explore the Olympic Park, original Westfield shopping mall or East London in general. Excellent transport options serve everywhere else in the capital; that large wall map will help you navigate. Sleeps up to 6 | 3 Bedrooms | 1 Bathroom

Book Golden Fanfare now: from £495 per night If London’s Olympic Village has a downside, it’d be that there’s too much to do. There’s Westfield – Europe’s largest shopping centre, the iconic Velodrome, umpteen dining options and walking trails all within a five-minute saunter of your new East End abode. And you’re well connected with Kings Cross St Pancras station only a six-minute train ride away. Fortunately, your fresh and modern home offers some calm among the chaos. Downstairs, the interiors are understated in a neutral colour scheme, where white-washed walls offset the trendy furniture, and double-height ceilings add a bright and breezy openness to the home. Upstairs, feature walls add some pizazz to the bedrooms – we particularly love the dramatic black and gold print in the second bedroom. We can picture your days starting with an unhurried coffee in the garden and ending, after a whirlwind day in the city, with a glass of wine on the balcony before tumbling into the plush king-size bed, fast asleep as soon as your head hits the pillow. Sleeps up to 8 | 4 Bedrooms | 3 Bathrooms

Book Paint By Numbers now: from £100 per night This charming new-build home is equipped with a modern bathroom and a large, sleek kitchen. Guests also have the added bonus of a balcony and big windows, which both let in tonnes of natural light and create a bright and welcoming living space. Brilliantly located just one minute from London Fields and two minutes from the train station, you will have easy access to all of London’s favourite sites. If you’d rather enjoy the local scenery, you’ll be pleased to hear that eateries, cafes, and other great activities are abundant in this lived-in neighbourhood. Sleeps up to 2 | 1 Bedroom | 1 Bathroom

Book Nama-Stay Here now: from £375 per night You’ll find this calming home close to London’s Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park, as well as a short stroll from the sprawling greenery of Hackney Marshes. After a long day of wandering around this pleasingly verdant part of the UK's capital, this apartment helps continue with the tranquillity. The interior has been decorated with Japanese Zen influences, as seen with the bonsai trees, calligraphy painted on the walls and incense sticks on the living room table. A certain sense of order also comes with the simple Scandi furniture that fills the space — we’re adding those rattan dining chairs to our wishlist. One of the best perks, though, has to be the covered balcony, where you can sit out and sip herbal tea alongside an impressive potted tree. For many, this will be the perfect enclave of peace in a city that seemingly never stops, but if you ever want to embrace that chaotic side, you can indulge in a bit of retail therapy at the nearby Westfield shopping centre or catch the tube to the heart of the city in half an hour. Sleeps up to 7 | 3 Bedrooms | 3 Bathrooms

Book Mint Meringue now: from £500 per night Located right in the heart of oh-so-trendy Dalston, this compact yet stylish flat is the perfect base from which to explore London. This home is all about sophisticated cool and urban chi from its plump, semi-circle seating area to its elevated bed nook and sleek kitchen. Wake up to city views from the large windows, then make yourself some breakfast. If you've got work to catch up on, grab a coffee and a pastry from the cafe downstairs before heading to the colourful co-working space. With Dalston’s vast array of boutiques, bars and restaurants as well as Broadway Market, London Fields and the Geffrye Museum all within easy reach on foot, there’s plenty to keep you entertained right on your doorstep. If, after a day of exploring, you’re still feeling energised, head to the shared gym for a workout before coming back to the flat for a luxurious soak in the tiled, monochrome shower. Sleeps up to 2 | 1 Bedroom | 1 Bathroom
