Golden House

Set in Maida Vale, a central spot with lots to see and do right outside your door, this is an ideal base for sightseers and business travellers alike. It's just a short distance to Little Venice, Notting Hill, and Central London, with lots of public transport options to get you from A to B. The apartment itself is a second-floor walk-up with a private entrance – a rarity for a London flat – and is split across multiple levels, adding a sense of space and privacy. That said, at full capacity with one guest on the living room sofa bed and sharing the one en-suite bathroom, it may be less practical for longer stays.

Home truths:
*At full occupancy, one guest will sleep on the sofa bed in the living area and share the one en-suite bathroom.
*The shower shows some signs of general wear and tear.
*There's no wi-fi here. It might be worth bringing a personal hotspot device with you if you know you'll need to access the internet.
*Reservations being made within 24 hours of arrival are subject to a change in check-in time (which usually is from 4pm until 7pm), and the key collection location might not be at the address.
