Book Description

February 1, 2002 Capital Travels
Forget the hotel – enjoy a less expensive and more comfortable stay by renting an apartment in London – for short or long visits.

2.6 million Americans visit London each year.
The first in a series of apartment renting books in various cities.
The book is an objective view of apartment renting in London, it is not paid for by any rental agencies.

Each year, millions of families, seniors, business travelers, and others – 2.6 million Americans in all – visit London. All want to maximize their spending dollar in this most expensive capital in Europe, and to stay in a comfortable place in a convenient location. HOW TO STAY IN LONDON FOR LESS gives visitors to London a new option that meets their expectations even better than hotels – the short-term apartment alternative.

Apartments are available for stays as short as one night, and the cost is 25% less than comparable hotel rooms while offering larger accommodations. This handy, but comprehensive guide offers 75 author-approved apartment complexes, what facilities are available in each, prices for rentals in US dollars, instructions on how to make a reservation, and an easy-to-follow rating system. Plus, for each of London’s seven central neighborhoods – these savvy travelers provide an historical sketch, a table outlining the types of apartments, a map, and recommendations for pubs, restaurants, and shops. The only book you need for your long or short stay in England’s historical capital!

2.0 out of 5 stars Outdated - Would not recommend, November 24, 2007
By 
This review is from: How to Stay in London for Less: Short-Term Apartments Ideal for All Travelers (Capital Travels) (Paperback)
The book has some basic information on the neighborhoods of London, but I bought it for the information on specific lodging, which was outdated. I am going to return this book.

5.0 out of 5 stars London for Less Will Pay for Itself Many Times Over!, March 17, 2002
This review is from: How to Stay in London for Less: Short-Term Apartments Ideal for All Travelers (Capital Travels) (Paperback)
This delightful and thoroughly researched book lets the reader in on all sorts of information about London that the authors have gleaned in yearly visits over more than 20 years. Learn not only about the best places to stay at the best prices, but exactly how they are furnished and what is available in the neighborhood. Doni't skip the first chapter, its a delight and sets the tone for the rest of the book. After reading about several neighborhoods, I was ready to pack to my bags! The organization is well planned and makes the book very user friendly. Not only do you learn about accomodations, but how to contact the managers and how to get to the neighborhood from the airport! A true gem.

5.0 out of 5 stars How to Stay in London for Less, March 4, 2002
By 
Nancy Newell (Washington, DC USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: How to Stay in London for Less: Short-Term Apartments Ideal for All Travelers (Capital Travels) (Paperback)
I loved this book! Without it I couldn't think about going to London. I'm an artist, and it has places even I can afford ($550 a week for my own apartment in central London). The photos let me get the feel of the less expensive flats and see if they are right for me.
This is just the way I like to travel. Stop in one spot, unpack, settle in, get to know the nieghborhood, and meet people. I can make my own meals and save money. The authors' ratings are objective. I know what I'm getting and don't have to worry that it won't be as described.
And it doesn't have only inexpensive places. It has the whole range of apartments from my price range to super-luxury. Fun to think about.
Apartment stays are the way to go. This book is for anyone who wants to spend more than two days in London and get to know the neighborhood.
