Karen’s apartment is lovely and beautifully appointed over 4 levels. But be warned, there are a LOT of stairs! 58 in total from top to bottom and an additional 20 odd down to the front gate!! There is no bathroom on the level of the main living area, so it’s two flights up just to go to the bathroom.
The decor is lovely, and it is obvious that Karen takes great pride in her home. However, I found the ubiquitous array of luggage tags instructing, “do not touch”, “do not light candles” etc etc to be a little intimidating. It might be pertinent to remove precious and delicate items perhaps, so guests can relax.
I also found the house rules to be a little aggressive, which left me quite on edge for the entirety of our stay with three boisterous teenage girls. Probably not the home to relax and unwind for a young family.
