Sleek and contemporary, this industrial-inspired apartment is the epitome of modern living. It's set over two floors, giving a small family or group plenty of space to spread out. High-end amenities abound – lush hotel-quality linens, underfloor heating, Nordic Quooker boiling water taps, double Siemens ovens and lavish rainfall showers are just a few of the touches that make a stay here feel extra luxurious. Whether you're lounging on the soft velvet sofa with a book from the host's library, hosting a dinner party in the striking dining area or nodding off in the cosy bedrooms, you're sure to feel right at home. And location-wise, this flat is spot-on. Tucked away on a quiet traditional mews in the heart of Bloomsbury, you're a short stroll away from three different underground stations (Chancery Lane is the closest, just six minutes on foot) and only a thirteen-minute walk from The British Museum. Charming pubs, independent coffee shops and delicious restaurants are basically on your doorstep, so this is an excellent spot to be.
