The typical London hotel charges $400 a night - just for a place to sleep - that's money you could be spending on seeing London or shopping in the world's most fashionable shops.
If you stay in a genuine London flat during your vacation, you'd save hundreds of dollars a day, gain a place where you can cook and feed the family inexpensively, and still have a fantastic place to sleep!
