Description The Modern Library: London

Just a few minutes walk from Kings Cross Station, this single-level home leaves you well-poised to explore London. While the interior isn't full of character, it's functional – although you'll need to bring your own bathroom and kitchen supplies here. The garden's a nice touch, and with the main bedroom being in a separate wing, you'll enjoy plenty of privacy. And while the central location may mean you're using earplugs at night, it does leave you close to the likes of the British Museum and a whole host of eateries and cafes.

Home truths:
*Toiletries aren't provided and the kitchen lacks basic cleaning supplies, so you'll need to bring your own. *This home was purpose-built for rentals, so it's not the most soulful or charming space. The communal areas of this building might appear a little worn and dated in parts. *Given the home's central spot, expect to hear some street noise throughout your stay. *It's worth noting that the beds here are on the lighter side, so not everyone might find them comfortable. *If you need to catch up on work, there's a dedicated desk here.
