Guests who want to be part of the action and still have a quiet home to return to at the end of a long day will fall in love with this Fitzrovia flat. Set over two floors in a Victorian building, the soothing colour scheme and all-modern interiors are an absolute delight. We loved how light and bright each room was – it felt like a relaxing respite from the city outside the door, and we enjoyed nothing more than sinking into the sumptuous sofa with a glass of wine after a busy day exploring. The kitchen is well-stocked for rustling up dinners, but the central locale means you're surrounded by some of the city's best restaurants, bars and pubs – chances are, you'll spend evenings dining out. Speaking of location, Fitzrovia has something for everyone – culture vultures will enjoy being a five-minute walk from the British Museum, fashionistas can roam the boutiques on Oxford Street and Regent's Street, and theatre fans are close to many of the shows in the West End. With Soho, Covent Garden and Regent's Park all less than a half hour's walk away and many underground stations nearby, you couldn't ask for a better... place to be during your stay in London.

Home truths
The sofa bed can sleep two extra guests, but we think it would be a squeeze with that many people – we believe this flat is better suited to four guests or a small family
During our visit, we noticed some signs of light wear and tear – nothing too extreme, but it does feel lived-in rather than brand new
This area can get noisy as there are pubs and restaurants nearby
The hosts can provide a travel cot – just ask during booking
There are a lot of steps here – it’s on the top floor of a building (it’s roughly thirty-three steps to get to the top) plus the flat itself is laid out over two floors
The hosts ask that you keep noise to a minimum after 11pm

Local guide
About Fitzrovia
Wedged between Bloomsbury, Soho, Covent Garden and Marylebone, Fitzrovia is a haven for foodies, art lovers and shoppers alike. You'll be rubbing shoulders with stylish local architects, gallerists and other artsy animals every evening from 6pm onwards, either sipping a cocktail in a glamorous bar or having a pint in one of the many historic and characterful local pubs. The weekends are a bit quieter when the local workers disperse, which is a good time to stroll up to Regent's Park, marvel the glories of the British Museum or head to the shops on Oxford Street.
