We do ask you to please note before requesting to book our apartment you are fully aware this is our primary residence which we only make occasionally available for short/medium term rental when we are away for work or on holidays. As such it is a lived in property with our personal belongings & naturally it is a lived in environment. It is not an investment property solely used for Airbnb. Whilst we will take every measure to have our home beautifully presented, very clean & tidy with ample storage room for guest belongings your arrival, it is a loved & lived in home. We kindly ask you be respectful of our home & our belongings which due to space constraints we cannot store offsite & to please understand as it is not a commercial investment managed by a third party service there will be traces of evidence of being a loved & lived in beautiful home. Whilst we do not provide an “end of lease” style cleaning service, the apartment is always thoroughly cleaned, high quality amenities provided & guests are welcome to use any of our pantry staples. We do have a secure underground car park that can be available upon request for a small one off fee.

We will however leave you a bottle of wine or some beers for you to enjoy during your stay & you are more than welcome to use any pantry staples or frozen foods in the fridge. Other things to note It is important you are fully aware this is our home & not a commercial investment property. It is furnished with our actual furniture, personal belongings & is a home not a resort or hotel. We simply ask you respect this & not take anything from our home or go through our wardrobes or drawers that contain our belongings such as clothing etc. We also want to be extremely transparent that whilst our home will always be thoroughly cleaned & beautifully presented prior to your arrival, having expectations that an “end of lease” or 5 star hotel cleaning service prior to your stay is conducted is not realistic & there will be the odd trace of the apartment being a lived in home. We ask you to please be mindful of this when requesting to book our apartment. However if you genuinely are seeking a beautiful comfortable home away from home with the convenience of all the fixtures & features of a home, located a 5 min walk to the beach & 20 min tram to the centre of the city then my home is perfect for you.
