Earthy tones, comfy furnishing and big rooms – this apartment is a stylish choice for a couple or a solo traveller planning a longer than usual stay in the city. Set in a period building, you can expect tall ceilings and those quintessential double French doors, which open out to a traditional wrought-iron narrow balcony. The living room is bright and spacious, with a comfy sofa and a handy, bespoke desk area – perfect if you're here for work. Decorated with natural hues and bouquets of dried flowers, with the doors open to the street below, this place feels cool and relaxing. Elsewhere in the flat, there's a charming bedroom, a kitchen equipped with everything you might need and a shower room. And we love the dining nook just before you enter the living room. On the edge of the Justicia neighbourhood, here you'll be surrounded by neo-classical architecture and upscale boutiques. Walk to one of a handful of nearby museums or try out the nearby bistros and tapas bars.
