Home truths:
*This home is located within an apartment building, with a shared entrance. Expect to bump into other guests during your stay. *This home sleeps four guests with the last two guests sharing a double sofa bed in the lounge space – if you’d like ample space for socialising, we’d recommend this home for two guests. *Given the home's central spot, expect to hear some street noise throughout your stay. *We think the compact kitchen is better suited to prepping lighter bites than large meals.
