To be able to rent short term on the island is a privilege. Simon’s apartment is stylish and spacious. We only spent a short stay but longer would be very easy with great kitchen and fabulously comfortable living spaces. We love the island for peace in the centre, close to all yet miles away as soon as you step over the bridges. As others have said, the apartment does not suffer from being ground floor. We did not experience any issues from foot traffic in the day and noise overhead as someone else mentioned is no more than wonderful old floors. Communication was excellent. Wifi is good. Bathroom is first rate.
