You'll find this apartment tucked away in Shepherd's Bush. Local offerings include Holland Park and Westfield Shopping Centre, but the tube station a ten-minute walk away when it's time to head into the heart of the city. Back at the pad, we recommend the mezzanine level bedroom for our more nimble guests as the ladder is quite steep. While there is a balcony here, you won't find anywhere to sit – it does catch the sun, however, and it’s a peaceful spot to watch the birds.

Home truths:
*There is no parking at this home, but a car isn't needed in London as you can reach many of the landmarks by public transport.
*The third double bed is on the mezzanine level and semi-open to the living space below, so privacy is limited.
*The lead guest must be at least 25 years old.
