The stairlift in the entrance of the foyer to the main building requires two people to operate it. Please keep this in mind when booking with accessibility requirements.
You’ll have the entire apartment to yourselves, with no shared spaces, a private retreat in the middle of the city.
The home is on the third floor with a smooth, step-free route from the entrance thanks to the building’s lift.
