In the heart of King's Cross, this apartment makes a fantastic base for friends. Both bedrooms are cosy – and, we won't lie, they're snug – but the terracotta-hued living area is as comfortable as it is stylish. A separate kitchen is a nice bonus, too. That said, you won't be short of eateries, cafes, and bars here as King's Cross boasts a bevvy of trendy spots to while away your downtime. And, of course, it's incredibly well-connected to the rest of London and beyond – King's Cross St. Pancras is a five-minute walk away.

Home truths:
*The bedrooms here are very compact. Both beds are pushed against the wall, making them only accessible from one side. While they can each fit two guests at a squeeze, we think one guest in each bedroom would be more comfortable.
*Children and babies may be allowed upon request – please speak to your host before booking for more information.
*Parking isn't provided, but you won't need a car in this central location. King's Cross Station is a five-minute walk away and has excellent connections across London.
*The lead guest booking this home must be at least 23 years old.
