Notes on accommodation
This is really a 1 bedroom apartment, however the low attic room upstairs with its 2 double beds allows for further sleeping capacity. The flat was designed by an architect and the stairs that reach the attic are steep and rather different from your average set of stairs. It is not recommended for the elderly or young children. The upstairs room is great for kids of about 7+ and adults and due to it rather quirky nature it is loved by most. The attic is a handy room if you are looking to have friends for a night or 2 during your stay.
The apartment is strictly non-smoking!
