Description The Reckoning: London

You'll find this contemporary apartment nestled between vibrant Shoreditch and trendy Bethnal Green. A haven for hipsters, this pocket of London offers a bevvy of cool cafes, lively bars, and vintage markets within walking distance. Fancy exploring further afield? Nearby Tube and Overground stations make getting around the rest of the city a breeze. Situated on the second floor (and lacking a lift), there's more than enough room here for a solo traveller or couple. Exposed brick, floor-to-ceiling windows, and a small balcony only add to the stylish atmosphere. Whether you're travelling for business or pleasure, this is an ideal base for a London getaway.

Home truths:
*This is a central spot, so noise is to be expected. *You'll need to climb stairs to reach the entrance to this second-floor apartment. *While there isn't air conditioning here, your host provides portable fans. *The balcony is small and located off the bedroom, and there isn't anywhere to sit. *One side of the bed is against the wall. *If you're travelling for work, you won't find a dedicated desk here. However, the dining table doubles up as a laptop-friendly workspace.
