Description Magdalena: London

This home is just off the Strand in central London near a whole host of attractions: Trafalgar Square, Leicester Square and Covent Garden are all within a 10-minute walk. You’re in the thick of it here with endless dining options from street food to Michelin-starred establishments and world-famous cultural landmarks like The British Museum and National Gallery within walking distance. The apartment itself radiates urban chic with big warehouse-style windows illuminating the living room and kitchen. Black, grey and white tones are broken up with splashes of colour courtesy of a pink flamingo by the six-seater dining table and crochet cushions on the plush sofas. Both double bedrooms have big windows and plenty of space so there’s no need to fight over who gets the master.

Home truths:
* There is some risqué artwork which may not be appropriate for a family
* While there is a lift to reach the flat, there are some stairs to navigate to reach the entrance of the building
* When we tested, the wi-fi connection wasn't strong
