What this smart studio bolthole may lack in space more than makes up for with an unbeatable location. Set just around the corner from Leicester Square Station in the heart of theatreland –⁠ this is as central as London gets. Part of a serviced apartment building, the interiors may feel a little pared-back for some. Still, it has all the essentials taken care of, including a well-equipped kitchen with a coffee pod machine to kickstart your days and a dining table that doubles nicely as a laptop-friendly workspace.

Home truths:
*Parking in central London can be tricky, so we recommend sticking to the easily accessible public transport where possible. *This home is located within an apartment building with a shared entrance. Expect to bump into other guests during your stay. *There is no lift at this apartment building, so be prepared to climb some stairs. *Your host operates several apartments here, so the exact view, layout and furnishings might differ slightly from the photos. However, the overall quality should remain the same. *Bathroom and kitchen essentials are provided. *This home is short on wardrobe space, so we'd recommend packing light. *Given the home's central spot, expect to hear some street noise.
