Hello,
We are a family of 5 (kids age - 15,15,2) and will be traveling to London in early August. I’ve seen a lot of post recommending apartment over hotel. Could anyone recommend hotels/apartment, Airbnb, VRBO in London? Not sure about location (SoHo, Westminster) - Probably have a budget 300/400 a night would like to stay in an area that obviously would be safe. Thank you
Look at Native and see if that aparthotel brand works for you.

The problem with recommending apartments is there are so many of them. Don't get hung up on two neighbourhoods - basically anywhere in central London near a tube station is fine. Are you quoting £?
Personally I like the west end (including neighbourhoods like Mayfair, St James, Covent Garden, Bloomsbury, Marylebone etc). But east and south of the river has aomwngood and potentially cheaper alternatives. Another thought is around King's Cross Station.
Don't worry about safety - there isn't anywhere in London I would regard as unsafe. At the age your kids are, ours were happily exploring London on their own.
