Stephen met us at the flat as planned and showed us round it and ensured we had everything we needed for our stay. The flat itself is unlike anywhere I have ever stayed before - the pictures don't do the place justice as the main room is just so big. There are loads of interesting books, records and instruments all over the place, its got a lovely vibe to the place. The kitchen is well equipped (though a little dark, so finding stuff takes a bit of time!), and the fact the fridge has some essentials in like eggs milk and butter is a lovely touch. Bed linen & towels were spotlessly clean, no issues on that score.

Some of the decor is a little rough around the edges in places as it is a very old place, but this did not detract from our stay at all. If however you like things to be perfectly neat and tidy & all to hotel standards, then its probably not for you.

If you want to stay somewhere very unique, and try on the lifestyle of an aristocrat or an artist for a few days, then this is the place to do it in.

Thanks Stephen for introducing me to some new musical tastes, and reminding me of how good vinyl sounds!
