Due to its considered decor and glazing, the open plan kitchen/reception room is bright and brilliant.

During warmer months, you’ll love making use of the large balcony, which runs across an entire side of the apartment.

Just a few minutes beyond your front door, you’ll come across the part-pedestrianised Francis Road, which is now recognised across the capital as a hub thanks to its eclectic mix of eateries and stores, ranging from upmarket deli Yardarm and independent book shop Phlox, to top rated deli Marmelo Kitchen and independent store Dreamhouse records.
