A Wallflower

A Wallflower: Greater London

Located in the West End, this functional home is perfect for theatre lovers or those who love to be in the heart of the city. The interior is simple and no frills, but having a kitchen is a nice plus that gives you another option for breakfast. A second-floor apartment, there's no lift here – it might be better suited for without much luggage. That said, with so much to see and do in the vicinity – not to mention the endless restaurant choices – we think you won't be making too many trips home during the day.

Home truths:
*Your host operates several apartments here, so the exact layout and furnishings might differ slightly from the photos. However, the overall quality should remain the same. *This home is on the second floor without a lift. It won't be suitable for those with limited mobility. *Given the home's central spot, expect to hear some street noise throughout your stay. *If you're travelling with little ones, your host may be able to provide a cot and high chair for free *If you're travelling for work, you won't find a dedicated desk here. However, the dining table doubles up as a laptop-friendly workspace. *This home was purpose-built for rentals, so it's not the most soulful or charming space.
