Good to Know
We want your stay to be as smooth as possible, so here are a few things to keep in mind:
- The kitchen and bathrooms are original, with retro tiles and finishes. Fully functional and clean, but visually from another era.
- Hot Water: Supplied via a water heater (thermo accumulator); if used continuously, it may take time to reheat
- Traditional Furniture: Some furnishings show their age; charm over trend
- The apartment doesn't have dishwasher or air conditioning. Heating is provided by portable units.
