Home truths
This is a studio apartment so the sleeping, living and kitchen spaces are one and the same.
This apartment is on the first floor of the building, with no lift. It may not be suitable for those with reduced mobility.
There’s a laptop-friendly workspace here.
Given this home’s central spot, there’s a chance you may hear some street noise during your stay. Light sleepers may want to pack earplugs.
We think the kitchenette is better suited to preparing light bites, rather than full meals.
