Mother Mersey

One of the best ways of getting to know a new destination is often from way up above, and this Liverpool apartment should give you a good introduction to the locale. Part of a striking burnt-gold tower in the middle of the main shopping district, it's perfectly set up for the city-breaker, with a modern kitchen and cosy furnishings for throwing yourself on after a day of exploring. Speaking of which, there's plenty going on down at ground level, whether you want to visit the museums and galleries around the Royal Albert Dock or embrace the buzzing nightlife in the formerly industrial Baltic Triangle — both reachable in about ten minutes on foot.
