Looking for a couples retreat near London's best landmarks? This Bloomsbury pad fits the bill. You've got The Brunswick Centre next door, The British Museum a ten-minute stroll away, and shops and cafes on your doorstep. For adventures further afield, Russell Square Station is right around the corner. It's not the biggest apartment, but it works well for solo travellers and couples. The character features are a nice bonus – there's even a historic blue plaque on the front of the building – and though it's compact, the living area is a cosy spot to unwind after a busy day exploring.

Home truths:
*Although there isn't air conditioning here, your host can provide portable fans on request.
*The lead guest must be at least 22 years old.
*Given the central location, some street noise is expected.
*The bed is quite creaky.
