The flat is amazing. The main enormous room has sash windows overlooking a private garden (to which you have a key).
Separate kitchen/dining area again with huge windows, separate bathroom and an alcove for the bed at the back.
Perfect for a single or couple. The living space is so generous you could fit a whole family in there but it feels a bit decadent and luxurious to be able to spread out.
The host is clearly a musician or just a big fan, as the piano and instruments, plus quality sound system attest, and I found myself imagining holding musical soirées with bunches of fellow bohemian friends before sauntering out on summer evenings.
The building and flat is old so don’t expect perfect finishes or very modern fittings, but everything works and its character shines throughout.
The location is also magnificent-a pleasant walk past private gardens to the main drag, and an easy downhill walk home afterwards.
Cobbled streets, impressive sweeping stairways, old and interesting trinkets and exposed wooden floorboards make it totally unsuitable for disabled or kids, but add to the atmosphere and made it a wonderful weekend for an anniversary weekend for the grown ups.
