Manfred's apartment is such a special place, I almost hate to share it, I want to keep it our secret! In decades of renting places around the world, this flat really stands out. Even more beautiful and spacious than the photos show, it's a perfect oasis in a great location--easy to walk into the thick of things, but only just apart enough so that it's peaceful (there is a great little tapas place downstairs that gets lively, but never so much so that it's bothersome). And it's that rare thing in today's world: an individual's home. Most listings on rental sites these days look all alike--the bland sofas, the generic decorations, all trying to look like a hotel, I find that so depressing. Manfred's place, however, is individual and quirky in the best ways, lovely and charming, and so comfortable and quiet. We'll be back!!
