Spacious apartment, old world charm

Our open-space apartment is full of charm and character. From the Spanish-tiled private entry to the footed tub shower, you will experience a unique feeling. Enjoy the nearby vibrant restaurant scene as well as the rooftop deck with its harbor view! The ceilings are low in a couple spots and could be a challenge for folks who are especially tall. My boyfriend is 6'4" and has learned to adapt! It may be something to consider. House noises travel in this old home, so it can be a factor for some.

A well-equipped kitchen features wooden cabinets and a granite countertop, with a gas stove and refrigerator clearly visible. A small round table with two chairs is positioned in the corner, along with a microwave and other kitchen essentials on the shelves above.
