London vacation rental wanted

I'll be visiting the UK in early October to see family, and I'd like to rent an apartment for a week+ in London.

(I'd prefer to be in the general vicinity of Bloomsbury/the British Museum, but would

consider other options.)  I'll also be in Cambridge for a few days, looking for a place to stay for a few nights.

Any tips much appreciated!

Thank you!!

RE:

Not London, but I had an excellent experience renting a flat for a week in Edinburgh on AirB&B a few months ago, so I wanted to recommend checking AirB&B.  A lot of Europeans seem to cross-list on AirB&B, Homeaway, flipkey, and VRBO so you can check all those places for reviews for the place you're interested in (read reviews!!).  Have a fun trip!

Not an apartment, but we stayed here a few years ago and it was nice, http://www.citadines.com/en/united-kingdom/london/citadines-holborn-covent-garden-london/index.html.  Affordable, and I believe every rental is a suite with separate bedroom and kitchenette.  4 of us, 2 kids and 2 grown-ups were cozy but comfortable.  Great location, near Covent Garden, lots of stores and restaurants nearby.
