I was charmed by this quirky duplex home from the get-go. With interiors that lend from country-house and loft styles, the space is contemporary and cosy, with exposed wooden beams and an industrial-esque spiral staircase leading to the mezzanine level bedroom. Perhaps not for those looking for a more traditional homely space, my favourite aspect was the accents of colour throughout, with bright pendant lights in the kitchen and characterful soft furnishings in the living space. A couple or solo traveller looking to spend time in a historical part of town would do well here.
