This space really is an urban oasis. The private patio is not overlooked; we left the blinds open for our stay, and had no fear of passers by looking in. All of the windows look out on to trees or ferns, so you're not really that aware of being in the city.
However, there is a wide variety of excellent restaurants and pubs within easy reach. Manuela's notes on local attractions are very good.
The space is well-thought-out, and very practical. The furniture is interesting, there is good original art on the walls, and a well stocked library of interesting books.
The kitchen is well stocked, and Manuela was very communicative, and eager to make our stay a pleasant one.
We would be very happy to stay there again.
