London in Canada is a city that truly has it all! Nestled in the heart of southwestern Ontario, this vibrant metropolis is home to a bustling arts and culture scene, gorgeous parks and green spaces, and of course, Western University. You can visit the 346-acre (140-hectare) Springbank Park by the Thames or travel to a bygone era in Eldon House.

But let’s be honest - as much as we love staying in hotels, sometimes it’s just not quite the same as having a home away from home. That’s where short-term rentals come in! These properties, rented out for a shorter time, usually a few days or weeks, offer all the comforts of home without the long-term commitment. Plus, they’re often more cost-effective than hotels, especially for more extended stays.

Make your itinerary ahead of time and look through this list of top short-term rentals in London, Canada, for a budget-friendly trip.

We handpicked these listings carefully, considering (wherever possible) host status, recent guest reviews, location, accommodation type, prices, decor, availability of dates, and short-term stay rules and regulations. The image galleries get refreshed with the latest updates regularly. They were last updated on April 13, 2024.

1. Modern pet-friendly penthouse (from USD 80)

Book a stay in this posh apartment with a private elevator and get a 15% discount. If you enquire about the Ontario staycation tax credit, you can get an added 20% off.

Own the unit as if it’s yours by cooking your favorite meal in the well-appointed kitchen, unwind in the modern living area with a Smart TV, and get some restful sleep in the gorgeous bedroom. What’s more, there’s no need to look for laundry and cleaning services as this apartment comes equipped with a washer and dryer and other top-of-the-line appliances to guarantee you a relaxing stay.

Plus, your furry companion is welcome to stay with you.
