Apt 3, Soho Apartments 2nd & 3rd floors by Indigo Flats

First Impressions

Apt 3, Soho Apartments 2nd & 3rd floors by Indigo Flats sits right on Wardour Street, and honestly, the location hits you before you even step inside. You’re literally in the heart of London’s theater district — I mean, you can hear the buzz from the street below. The building itself has that classic Soho character, wedged between cafes and vintage shops that make this neighborhood so addictive.

The Space

This four-star setup spans two floors, which actually gives it more of a townhouse feel than your typical hotel room. The layout works really well — you’ve got proper separation between living and sleeping areas, plus there’s enough space to spread out your stuff without feeling cramped. The kitchen is surprisingly well-equipped too, with everything you’d need if you want to grab groceries from Borough Market and cook something yourself.

Location & Neighborhood

You know what’s brilliant about staying here? You’re a two-minute walk from Leicester Square, but you’re on the quieter end of Wardour Street where it’s not completely mental all night long. The Chinese supermarkets and dim sum places are right around the corner, and honestly, some of the best late-night eats in London are within stumbling distance. Plus Oxford Street shopping is close enough when you need it, but far enough that you don’t get caught in the tourist chaos every time you step outside.

What Makes It Work

The apartment feels more like staying at a friend’s place than a hotel — which can be exactly what you want after a long day exploring. There’s proper Wi-Fi throughout, and the windows actually open (you’d be surprised how rare that is in central London). The 8.4 rating makes sense when you consider you’re getting apartment-style space in one of the most expensive neighborhoods in the city. I particularly liked having a washing machine — seems small, but it’s a game-changer for longer stays.

Why Guests Love It

People keep coming back here because it strikes that perfect balance between independence and location. You’re not dealing with hotel breakfast times or housekeeping schedules, but you’re still in the thick of everything that makes Soho special. The building can be a bit noisy — it’s Soho, after all — but most guests find the trade-off worth it. Actually, I’d say the street sounds become part of the experience; it’s like having the city’s heartbeat right outside your window.
