Everything in the apartment is brand new and has never been occupied.
On the ground floor is the main living space with a grand wide hallway, to the left there is a craft room and adjoining home office, to the right we enter a hall that has an entrance to the Spa area with changing rooms, steam room, jacuzzi, guest WC, showers and indoor swimming pool.
