The apartment is surprisingly versatile for its size. From storage to shared spaces to washing - click on the pictures to get a closer look.
Main Bathroom:
The bathroom has toilet; wash basin and bath with fitted shower.
Working Corners
I have set aside a corner of my living room as a fold-away office space and, in the spare space on the laniding upstairs a very convient space for reading (with a table, lamp & chair) plus a small workstation (out of the way) where I have my printer, scanner & what-nots
