Incredible location

This place is amazing! Besides being beautifully decorated, comfortable and so very clean, you cannot beat the location of this loft. Everything you you could need (coffee, food, wine, beer, Pal's) within walking distance and/or in the same building! The hosts were very friendly as well. You can tell they really put their heart and soul into their rentals. Such a wonderful stay!
