Soho State Of Mind London, Greater London

Holiday Rental Description

Deciding where to stay in London can be tricky. Go east for gritty, hipster hangouts? Or west, for the huge open spaces and swish designer boutiques? Well, we think there's only one answer – stay as central as you can. And it doesn't get any more heart-of-the-action than this chic, modern flat just a few steps from Shaftesbury Avenue. The boutiques in Covent Garden, nightlife in Soho, shows in the West End and food of Chinatown are all just a stroll away. But it's not just the location that makes this home so special – we loved the interior, too. There's a cool Scandi feel about the decor, with large prints on the wall, Hem designer furniture and leafy houseplants dotted about. Everything you'll need is taken care of, be it crisp white linens and plenty of crockery to Netflix on the TV and toiletries in the bathroom. Our favourite spot was the bedroom, with its Juliet balcony and huge built-in wardrobes that make unpacking a dream – you'll have more than enough space to try on outfits before heading out for a night on the town. Whether you're unwinding with a glass of wine and a film on the cushy sofa, sharing a meal around the table or snoozing in the bed, we think you'll love calling this contemporary pad home during a say in the Big Smoke.

Home truths:
*This home is on the second floor without a lift – you'll have to climb roughly 66 steps, so pack light *There is no air conditioning, but the hosts do provide a fan for hot summer nights *This is a very lively area of London, so you may hear noise from the street *There's no parking here, so don't drive into the city – London has world-class public transportation so we don't think you'll need it *There isn't much natural light in the living space as office buildings block a lot of the sunlight *This flat is in an apartment building with a shared lobby *The dining table can double as a laptop-friendly workspace
