Give central London living a whirl at this elegant townhouse, perched along a smart leafy street in Waterloo and just a short walk from the Tube station. Beautifully unfolding over four floors, you'll find three bedrooms as light-filled and stylish as the next and two sitting rooms to relax in. Outside, the private terrace garden is the perfect zen retreat, complete with a wood-fired barbecue for alfresco evening meals. And the top-floor balcony leading off the main bedroom is a bonus. Light sleepers may want to bring earplugs as you can hear the nearby Tube Depot from early morning until late at night, but we'll take that for a home this central. Please note all stays of 8 nights or more include complimentary weekly cleaning, linen changes and replenishment of toiletries.
