The space The apartment is a studio nestled in the narrow streets of the village, ideal for a couple, even friends. In the studio apartment, there is a double sofa bed and a small loft where a bed (120 cm mattress) has been created, which allows, if necessary, to accommodate a person or a couple. This additional bed arrangement has a comfortable latex mattress (more comfortable than the sofa bed) but it is not recommended for long stays (e.g. 2 couples) as the short distance of the bed from the ceiling (see photo) does not guarantee the same comfort as the main bed arrangement (full-size sofa bed).
