With Queen's Quarter on your doorstep and the city centre a sedate 20min stroll away (or quick bus trip, if you prefer), these self catering apartments are sitting pretty for the tourist and exec. Inside the listed red-brick townhouse facade are seven one and two bed apartments, each decorated in simple yet stylish deep reds, creams and dark woods. Each of the open-plan kitchen/living rooms has a different layout - we're liking the cute split level versions - and all are well equipped with the usual appliances. Plasma TVs, games console cables and free wifi keep everyone entertained and well-connected. Free on-street parking is also available.

Seven apartments (one bed £59 - 85, two beds £79 - 115). Prices per apartment per night. Extra fold-down beds available.
