In the centre of London's West End district, this apartment is one of the more simple homes in our collection. It's on the fourth floor in a building with no lift, so climbing stairs will be required and this won't be suitable for all guests. But we think it's a great choice if you're travelling for work, or you want to make the most of the city's attractions without needing to drive. Whether you're looking for restaurants, shops, theatres, or the vibrant Leicester Square, it's all at your fingertips.

- Hosts we know – With track records of high-quality hosting.

Home truths
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.
If you're travelling with little ones, your host may be able to provide a cot and high chair for free. Discuss this with your host in advance.
Given the home's central spot, expect to hear some street noise throughout your stay.
The fireplace in the bedroom is for decorative purposes only.
The communal areas of this building might appear a little worn and dated in parts.
Please note there is a KFC on the ground floor of the building.

Local guide
About The West End
The West End is about as central as it gets, hundreds of restaurants and bars on your doorstep and you might even see the lights of Shaftesbury Avenue (London's Broadway) blinking through your curtains. It's certainly conveniently located for flopping into bed after seeing a show, but be warned you will be sharing the area with quite a lot of tourists and you won't find many proper Londoners or signs...
