Central Quarters

This cosy Shoreditch home with flexible sleeping arrangements and great public transport links is right in the heart of one of London's most creative districts. Brick Lane's street art and vintage shops are a five-minute stroll away, and for more crafts and independent shops, you can head to Spitalfields Market in fifteen. Stop by the restaurants and bars on Shoreditch High Street on your way home, before rounding off your day with a glass of wine and a board game on the little balcony. If you need to catch up on work while you're here, the dining table with seating for four is a handy spot to do just that before you set off for more city exploring.

Home truths:
*The chair in the living room becomes a single sofa bed for a fifth guest.
*The second bedroom can be made up with two single beds or one King bed.
*While there's bed space for five people here, it might be a squeeze on the sofa and at the dining table.
*This home is near a railway, so expect to hear some noise from passing trains during the day.
*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.
