London, England

[joho]

I am planning to go to London next summer for a month. Since I have never been there before, I am hoping someone can help for these two questions. Is there a good website or agency to find a good furnished apartment to rent for a month? Second, which area is the good location to rent so I can do some good sightseeing?

If you have a whole month to go, explore all western Europe, dont just stay in London.

What you want to pay for the month rent? Some of the really cool areas of London make Vancouver seem cheap.

I am going there for my work. The company will reimburse my rent so I am very flexible with the limit.

This might be helpful, just to get a sense of the different neighbourhoods:

I really love Hampstead Heath (it's a big, beautiful park), so if I had flexible funds, I would stay in Hampstead. It's one of the most expensive places to live in London, so keep that in mind. Also, it's a residential area, so if you want to be right in the heart of things, it wouldn't be a good choice.

Good luck in your search

Thanks, Holly Taylor. Hampstead sounds like a right place to be!
