Step into the wizarding world at this home tucked down the narrow lane that inspired Diagon Alley. Harry Potter fans will adore the magical memorabilia scattered about – it's understated but adds to the charm. It's not the biggest home, but having four floors gives the impression of extra space. There's also a sofa bed for guests five and six, but we reckon it's a better fit for four. The street is a popular stop for tour groups, so you'll get passersby on your doorstep. But, with Covent Garden, Leicester Square, and Soho all within strolling distance, we think that’s a worthwhile trade.
Home truths: *At full capacity, two guests will sleep on the sofa bed in the living area. Just note that space is a bit tight.
*If you're travelling with little ones, your host can provide a cot and high chair upon request.
*There isn't a washing machine here.
*This home is spread across four levels, so be prepared to climb quite a few stairs.
*There isn't air conditioning here, but the windows do open and your host is happy to provide fans if needed.
*This is a self-check-in home. You'll need to collect the keys from a shop ten minutes from the apartment.
*This home is on a historic street – expect to see tour groups walking past and people taking photos.
