Apt 2, Soho Apartments 1st floor by Indigo Flats

First Impressions

Apt 2, Soho Apartments 1st floor by Indigo Flats sits right in the thick of things on Wardour Street, and honestly, you can’t get much more central than this. The building itself has that classic London townhouse feel — you know, the kind where you’re climbing up to the first floor and can already hear the city buzzing just outside. It’s not trying to be fancy, but there’s something genuinely appealing about staying in what feels like a proper Soho flat rather than another cookie-cutter hotel room.

The Neighborhood

Here’s the thing about this location — you’re basically living like a local in one of London’s most vibrant quarters. Step outside and you’ve got Chinatown literally around the corner, while Leicester Square and Covent Garden are just a few minutes’ walk away. I mean, the restaurants here are incredible, from proper dim sum places to those little Italian spots that somehow survive the rent prices. You’ll find yourself popping out for coffee at odd hours just because you can, and there’s always something happening on the streets below.

The Space

The apartment itself feels surprisingly spacious for central London — and trust me, that’s saying something. You’ve got a proper kitchen setup, which is actually useful when you want to grab groceries from the Tesco Metro down the street and have breakfast without paying hotel prices. The layout works well, with enough space to spread out your stuff without feeling cramped. It’s that perfect balance where you feel settled rather than like you’re just passing through.

Why It Works

What really makes this four-star place special is how it lets you experience Soho properly. You’re not stuck in some isolated hotel bubble — you’re right in the mix of theaters, record shops, and that slightly chaotic energy that makes this area so addictive. The fact that it’s managed by Indigo Flats means you get decent service when you need it, but mostly you’re left to your own devices. Parking is obviously a nightmare around here, but honestly, you won’t need a car anyway.

Why Guests Love It

People keep coming back because it strikes that sweet spot between independence and comfort. You get the freedom of having your own space — complete with kitchen facilities and room to actually live a bit — while being steps away from some of London’s best entertainment and dining. The 8.2 rating makes sense when you consider you’re getting authentic Soho living without the hassle of actually renting a flat here. Plus, there’s something satisfying about telling people you’re staying “in Soho” rather than “near” it — because location really does matter, especially in a city like this.
