So, where should you stay if you’re visiting for the first time? There are hyper-trendy districts like Soho and Shoreditch, along with more upscale areas like Paddington and Mayfair. Then there are more traditional tourist hubs, including Covent Garden.
It’s a prime spot to find free activities that you’ll want to enjoy twice. That’s in addition to historic landmarks like the Piazza, along with cultural spots like the Royal Opera House and seasonal delights like an annual Christmas market that turns Covent Garden into a winter wonderland.
In short, it’s a wonderful place to base your first (or second, or third) London adventure around. And it’s home to some of London’s best Airbnbs. Here’s where to find them.

It has the same host as the Covent Garden Studio (above), so you’ll get a similar high-design, hyper-modern setup. The apartment also comes with high-quality appliances and linens. Just know there’s no elevator—you need to walk up four flights.
