Home truths
This home is right in the heart of tourist London so the immediate vicinity can get a bit hectic – that said, overall the home is very quiet
A fifth guest may use a single pull-out bed in the communal space
As it's a basement apartment, it's not flooded with natural light and has a more moody feel to it – and don't expect expansive views!
It's run by a management company – just a heads up that you won't be let in by the actual owner

About Covent Garden
Covent Garden is right in the thick of the action of Central London. It's home to the Royal Opera House, an imposing square packed full of weird and wonderful street performers and the charming Five Dials district, with its independent boutiques and restaurants. It's the perfect place to stay if you're planning on seeing some West End shows, all of which are within easy walking distance. If you want to return to peace and quiet at the end of each day then you might want to look elsewhere!
