Home truths
Your host operates several apartments here, so the exact view, layout and furnishings might differ slightly from the photos. However, the overall quality should remain the same.
This is a studio apartment, so there is no separate living space here.
You won't find an oven here – though there is a hob and microwave. We think the kitchenette is better suited to prepping lighter bites than large meals.
While this home is in an apartment building, there are no housekeeping services.
If you're travelling for work, you won't find a dedicated desk here. However, the dining table doubles up as a laptop-friendly workspace.
