Unique, amazing London living spaces renting for Olympics

With the London Olympics on the horizon—the opening ceremony is July 27—we thought it time to take a look at London's short-term rentals and find some options that might suit a visitor who's not just coming for the sports. This first one certainly fits the bill. A circular bedroom perched in a former water tower, the rental space is a lung-busting six flights of stairs from the street, which partly explains the owner's decision to go for a minimalist aesthetic. Equipped with a kitchenette and a full bathroom with tub and shower, the tower apartment rents for $207 per night, but, unsurprisingly, has already been rented for the Olympics.
