If you’re visiting London as a family or group of friends, this modern pad covers all the bases. You can’t get more central than this – the apartment is right in Soho and a short walk from Covent Garden, The West End, Leicester Square and Oxford Circus – keep in mind street noise is part of that. The interiors are bold, so you'll need to be a fan of neon here. And while there’s enough space for six (two on the sofa bed), there are only four seats at the table. There’s a well-equipped kitchen, though with London’s diverse restaurants on your doorstep, you'll likely prefer to dine out.

Home truths:
*You'll be able to check yourself in here.
*You'll need to climb some stairs to reach this first-floor apartment.
*At full occupancy, two guests will be sleeping on the sofa bed. And keep in mind there are only four seats at the dining table here.
*Given the home's central spot, expect to hear some street noise throughout your stay.
*While there's no air conditioning in this home, fans can be provided upon request during the summer months.
*Your host provides cleaning services once a week. You'll also receive a complimentary welcome pack upon your arrival. It contains tea, coffee and biscuits, bed linen, towels, toiletries and supplies on arrival. For longer stays, it will be replenished on a weekly basis.
