Description Brick & Glass: London

There's certainly no shortage of light in this stylish corner apartment – and those wrap-around windows offer tantalising skyline views, too. The open-plan layout means the city vistas are visible whether you're relaxing on the sofa or preparing a meal in the kitchen – and speaking of, avid cooks will surely appreciate all the counter space. This home is far enough away from Old Street roundabout to avoid the bustle, yet just steps away from diverse restaurants and cafes. And though this location might primarily appeal to business travellers, vibrant cultural neighbourhoods such as Shoreditch and Hoxton are just a short walk away.

Home truths:
*If you're travelling with little ones, your host can provide a cot for free on request.
*The bed in the main bedroom can be converted into twins on request.
