In the centre of the West End, this home is a dream if you long to be in the heart of London. You won't want for distractions – more restaurants, bars, and theatres than you could hope to visit are seconds away. That's not to say you'll be in a rush to head out, though – the airy, open-plan living space offers plenty of natural light, letting you relax between trips into the bustling streets below. To top this off, your host can arrange extras, including spa treatments and event tickets. If you want to head out of the area, that's easy too – Picadilly Circus Tube Station is a few minutes' walk, while several bus stops are even closer.
Home truths: *Given the home's very central spot, expect to hear some street noise throughout your stay, especially at the weekend.
*The double bed in the second bedroom is up against the wall, so one guest will need to climb over from the other side.
*If you're travelling for work, you'll find a dedicated desk in the main bedroom. The kitchen bar also doubles up as a laptop-friendly workspace.
*This home is accessed via a lift and is entirely on one floor.
*There is portable air conditioning available here for warmer days.
