Do you have a question about this home or the local area?

This home is a treat for anyone who’s into vintage, bohemian designs. Over time, the host has lovingly collected trinkets and artefacts from his travels, culminating in a beautifully presented space full of eye-catching pieces – like the vintage edition of the Eames lounge chair, a leather horse saddle, a vast vinyl collection and more. Perched up on the fifth floor, this home is flooded with natural light and the westward-facing balcony is perfect for watching the sunset. The location is no different, charming cafes line the streets and guests have easy access to the whole city.
