Worth weighing

3 to weigh
  • Compact size for two bedrooms — At 40 m², the apartment is compact for a two-bedroom layout, which may feel snug for larger groups.
  • Limited in-unit privacy — The unique attic bed, while charming, may not suit all guests, and the open layout could limit privacy between bedrooms.
