The flat is actually more spacious and well-lit than the pictures had led us to believe. The bed in the loft did not, as it turned out, represent the master bedroom. And said master bedroom also had large windows drawing in light from the other side of the building. The terrace faces to the South, toward the sea, and is a great spot for enjoying both sunrise and sunset.
We loved the space, in sum. The location as well. Major metro lines all within two blocks, groceries also, and an excellent bakery across the street.
