Great little luxe hotel room vibe but in a 1/2 house terrace, a gorgeous bedroom, little cupboard with fridge , a hallway and a beautiful bathroom . No lounge area, just to manage expectations !

Absolutely beautiful luxury accommodation, the comfort and convenience 10/10
Mia from Australia (9/10)
I love the interior design. The homeowner/ designer keeps the pre-existing elements and features of the 1888's house. The lighting and colour selection are considerate, bedding is comfy as well 🙂 Morning bath under the skylight really refreshes your day,
