This home is a peaceful city oasis, perfect for those who want to escape the city noise. Furnished with a love for rustic elegance, it gives off a sense of fairytale glamour. Most of the furniture has been hand-picked and brought over from Indonesia by the host in search if the perfect textural patterns, giving this home a harmonious vibe in every room. While we loved the hand-carved details and the woodwork in the living room, our favourite is the traditionally paved terrace – perfect for lazy afternoon lunches.

Home truths:
* The home manual isn't great, but the host is working on improving it
* We spotted a few stains in the kitchen sink
* There's no step-free access to this home unfortunately
* There's only one pillow per person in each bed
*The washing machine is located outside of the apartment and is shared with the whole building - cleaned on a daily basis
*The building is from the XVIII century and as a result is not 100% as soundproof a modern building but it has double glass windows and isolation between the wooden floors
