This minimalist apartment is perfect for guests looking for a convenient base in central London. The apartment is on a quiet street just off Shaftesbury Avenue, between Covent Garden and Holburn. You’ll be just a short walk from Holburn tube station and within walking distance of the West End and many other popular London spots. The location is undoubtedly the main draw here, but the apartment is plenty appealing. It’s comfortable and modern, with everything you might need for a city break – though two guests will be sleeping on a sofa bed in the living room.
