The Vines

The heart and soul of Brighton are on your doorstep with a stay at this ultra-cool apartment set right amongst it in the city's beloved North Laines and just a ten-minute stroll from the beach.

You could easily while away the whole day and night diving into the North Laine's buzzing hub of independent artists, curiosity shops, and happening cafes and restaurants. But don't forget the city's other must-sees, starting at the eye-popping spectacle of The Royal Pavilion (seven minutes on foot). And there's always the kiss-me-quick pier (thirteen minutes on foot) for a spin and obligatory fish and chips – preferably in that order.

When it's time to take five, you'll find an immaculately presented apartment awaiting. The care that your host, Helen, puts into the interior design of this home is impressive – that bespoke kitchen is a case in point. While over in the bedroom, one big hug of a king-sized bed awaits, along with a freestanding bathtub with room for two. And despite its central location, it feels surprisingly quiet here. So draw the blackout blinds and bag yourself a lie-in – in this famously hedonistic city, you might need it.

Home truths:
*There's no allocated parking but you'll find plenty of carparks in the North Laines and the train station is just a ten-minute walk away
*You'll check-in with a keypad
*The apartment is on the second floor – the host’s workspace is on the ground and first floor, but you’ll have your own private entrance to the home
*Bathroom and kitchen essentials are provided to help settle you in
*The sloped ceilings mean that taller guests might have to duck in places
*There’s a laptop-friendly space for remote working here
