Recommendation for an extended-stay apartment in London?

Hi,

I am looking for a furnished flat to rent for a month in London. I am looking for a safe area close to a tube station. Thanks!

"<i>I should add that I'll be there during off-peak season...</i>"

There really isn't an 'off season' in London. Some flats will run a bit lower in Jan/Feb/early march. But not substantially less. When are you going to be there? Also - are you there for work/research? If so, the location is important for your commute.

Dolphin House will not fit in your budget so you can skip that suggestion.

Take a look at SabbaticalHomes. Some rent by the week or month. Even those that have longer minimum terms might be willing to rent for a month if they are in between rentals.

Yeah, Dolphin House looks very nice but out of my budget, unfortunately. I'll be in London in November and commuting won't be an issue as long as the area is safe and has good access to central London.

I found a few places that look promising. They are in Islington, Paddington, or Sutherland Square. How are these areas?
