Wow!!!! What an incredible experience it was staying at this cozy, spacious, welcoming, artist apartment. It’s very large and has natural light, 2 living spaces and 2 bedrooms & bathrooms. And just when you think the space is amazing, you navigate to the rooftop terrace and fall in love. It’s perfect up there. The neighborhood is safe, fun and has restaurants right out the door. And while the sounds outside are lively and jovial, the bedrooms are very quiet (in the back). We loved staying here!!!!! Do be aware that the staircase is steep and unusual to navigate. I feel like we learned some new dance moves but the pictures in the description give you a good idea of what you’re in for. And there is a lift part way up, if needed. Expect to have to duck your head going down the main stairs or into the master bathroom or you’ll find out just how sturdy the beams are.
