Style Notes

Minimal modernist. Bright and light thanks to plentiful windows, the hosts have maintained the authenticity of a 1890s apartment but renovated it with modern refurbishments to make it comfortable for families. Renovated in 2022, the space combines classic modernist touches with contemporary amenities, with the glorious juxtaposition of original doors, windows and ceilings. We love the mix of vintage and modern furniture, the relaxing neutral color scheme and the wooden parquet flooring.
