In buzzing Bethnal Green, this apartment makes a no-fuss base for first-time tourists and seasoned visitors alike. Floor-to-ceiling windows flood the living space with light and offer views of the leafy street. The kitchen has all the essentials you'll need to rustle up meals at home, though with Shoreditch's trendy eateries within walking distance, we reckon you'll prefer dining out. When you're ready to explore, a bus stop is right outside the building, while the nearest Tube and Overground stations are just a short stroll away. Home truths: *If you're travelling with little ones, your host can provide a travel cot on request. *There isn't a desk here, but the dining table doubles up as a laptop-friendly workspace if you need to work from home. *Please note that the balcony is Juliet-style. It's small, and there's nowhere to sit. *Parking isn't provided, but a car isn't necessary in this area. The nearest Tube station is a short walk away, and there's a bust stop right outside the building.
