Home truths
The kitchen is located on the shaded roof terrace at this home.
You'll need to climb some stairs to reach the entrance of this apartment and to access the two upper terraces.
While the fourth bedroom isn't pictured, it's a twin room that can connect with one of the double bedrooms – ideal for families sharing.
Parking can be tricky, so we recommend sticking to easily accessible public transport where possible. We think the city is best explored on foot.
