This room and garden is in the heart of the city but nestled on a quiet side street. As Emil said, the room is separate from the house and if you would like to be on your own, that is absolutely possible. What I can add, is Emil is the most thoughtful and kind host. My mother was visiting and we don't have a guestroom, and Emil's is a 5 minute walk from us. She stayed at Emil's for 10 days and we have nothing but glowing things to say. The room was very comfortable and clean, with everything she could have needed--Emil asked beforehand and had me visit to make sure the room would be okay for my mom. Many mornings Emil would leave lovely gourmet sweets from local bakeries by the door for Mom. If you can book this room, do it!!!
