Home truths
Access to the mezzanine is via a retractable ladder – not one for the faint-hearted
Given the lack of childproofing in the mezzanine, this home is not suitable for small children
The ceiling height is lower than average in some parts of the mezzanine so our taller guests should mind their heads

There is no air-conditioning in this home
The apartment is on the fourth floor without lift access
