Contemporary style, private balcony and an excellent location to boot – what more could you want on a visit to London? Situated only a three-minute walk from buzzing Covent Garden, you'll have everything you'll need right on your doorstep – be it coffee shops and designer boutiques to West End's lively theatres. This area is the perfect blend of old and new – traditional pubs sit next to gourmet restaurants, while cobblestone lanes in Covent Garden are lined with high-street brands and market stalls. But there's one thing that's decidedly modern amongst it all – this bright and trendy flat. We love the sleek yet cosy furnishings, from the crisp linens on the bed to the chic dining table that can double as a workspace. After a long day exploring, there's nothing better than pouring yourself a glass of wine and unwinding on the private balcony. Keen chefs can rustle up a meal in the kitchen (it's stocked with plenty of cookware) or if you don't fancy cooking, order a takeaway from one of the local eateries and sprawl out on the sofa for a movie night.

Home truths:
*There's a sofa bed that can sleep one extra person on request
*This home is part of a hotel – the lobby and communal areas are shared with other guests of the building
*The host has several very similar homes in the same building – the exact layout, views, and design of your home might vary slightly from the photos
*There isn't on-site parking, but there is a paid-for underground parking garage nearby – that said, a car isn't needed as Covent Garden and Leicester Square stations are both a short stroll away
*You'll need to let the property know in advance what time you'll arrive as there isn't self check-in
