Anna’s place was very easy to get to on public transport from the station. She gave excellent instructions for checking in, and her property was easy to locate.
On arrival there was a light on in her flat when I arrived, which contributed to the homely feeling. There is also a lovely coat rack made out of an old spirit level. On walking into the property there was a lovely bunch of Daffodils on the table. Her place is light and airy.
There were wonderful personal touches, such as quirky pictures, and ornaments. The kitchen is very well-equipped with everything that you need to prepare your meals. I especially liked the stoneware pottery, plates and cups. Anna was very generous in saying that I could use some of the spices and condiments of which there were many.
The kitchen/living room is cleverly lit and with various dimmer switches. You can have on the lamp, or the light over the table or the main light, which changes the ambiance of the room.
One of the best things about this room is the VIEW. I have written this in capital letters, as it is, I believe, the major feature of this room, along with the high ceiling. Soon after my arrival I found myself sitting on the window seat admiring the view before I had to drag myself away to go out. From this vantage point there is a picturesque patchwork of rooftop colours of blue, terracotta, pink and grey, and a panoramic view of the city.
Walking through the corridor to the bedroom, you will find a beautifully decorated space. Again, personal touches are in evidence with candles, a beautiful Persian inspired tray, great plants, a stunning fireplace and an exquisite ceiling rose. The room is quiet and I had a very comfortable and peaceful nights sleep.
The shower room situated to the right of the front door as you come in, is sparkling clean, with a great rain fall shower.
The area around the flat in quite, it is interesting how when you walk from the busy high street and then turn off to Anna’s flat, how peaceful everything is. As you spend time in the flat you notice more quirky details, and it is evident that Anna is very creative, with a crochet patchwork light cover in the bedroom.
When I looked this flat the first time 14 people were looking at it. I looked at other properties that day, and came back the following day and 16 people were looking at this property. If you get an opportunity to stay at Anna’s place, I highly recommend it.
