A short stroll from King's Cross, this apartment is the perfect pad for two. You'll find plenty to see and do within walking distance – from the British Museum to the Barbican Centre – but all of London is at your fingertips thanks to easy Tube access. Back home, the desk is ideal for remote workers, while the light-filled living area is equally cosy and stylish. There's a well-appointed kitchen here, too – though with bars and restaurants in Pancras Square, Farringdon's thriving culinary scene and Exmouth Market all nearby, we reckon you'll prefer to dine out.
Home truths: *Although there isn't air conditioning here, your host can provide portable fans on request.
*There's a desk in the bedroom if you plan to catch up on work during your stay.
*King's Cross Station is a short walk away, making travel across London a breeze without a car.
