Good to Know
• The apartment is split across two levels — there’s a short staircase (10 steps) inside • The building has an elevator, but there is no private parking (paid street parking available, subject to availability) • Both bathrooms are windowless, so we recommend regular ventilation to avoid humidity build-up • The twin bedroom is very compact, best suited for children or short stays
