We stayed in the apartment for a month remote working, all in all we enjoyed our stay but there are a few things which are worth mentioning if you plan on booking to stay here for a prolonged period of time. The apartment is on the 4th floor, a welcome workout for us but potentially not everyone’s cup of tea – the view you have from the double balcony at the front of the property makes it totally worth it. I lost count of the number of golden hour photos I took, each evening the light looked like it was reflecting slightly differently, really beautiful. The kitchen is very basic in terms of utensils, no colander or peeler for example but a rusty cheese grater, a gas hob which was good to cook on tho.
Unfortunately, the smell which is a lot stronger when you first come into the block, does travel and it made it uncomfortable for me to be in the front room / dinning / working area. We tried to block the smell coming through the entrance door, but it persevered. With contestant candle burning and a purchased oil diffuser it was manageable but not pleasant, luckily with the bedroom door closed it didn’t bother at night. This does come with a disclaimer; I have a very strong sense of smell so might not bother others.
The neighbourhood is full of charm with a few local spots to grab a bite, minus the copious of dog poop on the street – there’s lots to explore and enjoy.
