We stayed at the makers house for the weekend and had a wonderful time! Alex is a great host- quick to respond and incredibly helpful. He was there to show us around the apartment and was so friendly and accommodating. The apartment is really fun, the locally made furniture is quirky and hip and the ethos of the 'makers house' is exactly as I hoped. the apartment is spacious and bright with a real industrial feel to it with it's concrete floors. The location is excellent, right in the heart of the action with lots of shops on the neighbouring roads. It's placed between 3 metro stations so it's incredibly easy to get between areas of the city. The bar opposite does get a little loud on a saturday night but it's no more than we expected in a large city (and it adds to the atmosphere!) The kitchen is basic but we has what you need for making breakfast and a simple dinner in the evenings. Thanks for a lovely weekend Alex!
