2012 is upon us and the countdown has begun. So get wrapped up in the celebrations of the 2012 Olympics. 

First things first, get your accommodation sorted. Most hotels are fully booked and serviced apartments are booking quickly. We all know you get better value for money and better amenities in a serviced apartment or house so check out our collection of 1 to 4 bedroom serviced apartments and houses for rent during the big event. They are all in prime locations with easy accessibility to the main Stratford Olympic site. Our apartments to rent are increasing all the time so if you don't find what you are looking for then email us at hello@yourniceapartment.com and let us know what your requirements are and we will find a suitable property for you. 

Once your accommodation is sorted then you can enjoy the celebrations.
