Completely redesigned from top to bottom, this apartment offers a unique and fun experience, with all the comforts needed for a peaceful escape in the city.

This independent house was once used as a storage space and has been cleverly converted into an apartment.
The house spans 2 floors: the bedroom is upstairs, and on the lower level, you’ll find a colourful kitchen, living room, and bathroom.

In the living room, enjoy a TV with cable channels and a sound system with a record player, where you can also connect your phone. There’s also a comfortable sofa bed.

All furniture and decor were custom-designed for the apartment and handcrafted by local artisans. The house is spacious and bright, filled with sunlight from morning until sunset. For those who prefer to sleep, all windows feature yellow wooden shutters that can be fully closed. The windows are also new with double glazing, offering excellent insulation.

As an independent house, you have full access to the entire property with no shared spaces. You will receive a set of keys. Check-ins must be arranged in advance, and upon booking confirmation, you will receive a detailed email with instructions for your arrival.

Things to Note
This traditional building is part of the UNESCO World Heritage Site, and like most buildings in the area, there’s no garage for parking - but there are plenty of parking options nearby. Feel free to ask for recommendations!

There is no elevator, and access to the house is via stairs. Please note that the house is not equipped with air conditioning, but we provide a fan/heater.

The house has an independent entrance from the street, and there is a steep staircase to access the property, so we do not recommend it for guests with limited mobility.

Frequently asked questions for this offer

What happens after I make a reservation?

Once you send a reservation request, the landlord is notified that you are interested in their offer. From that moment, they have 24 hours to approve or reject your reservation.
Landlords are mainly interested in the profile of their tenant. Do not forget to fill in all necessary information, add your profile picture, or even make a short video about yourself. Doing that will make you more attractive for the owner and your reservation will more likely get approved.

What is the standard furnishing of flats?

All the apartments on offer on HousingAnywhere must meet certain standards. We require fully furnished and equipped ones, dishes, cutlery and internet connection included.

What is a medium-term rent?

The duration of a medium-term rent is usually 1 to 12 months. Most of the landlords offer long-term rents or rents for just a few days, therefore getting a medium-term rent without HousingAnywhere is not that easy.

Can I go through the contract before I make a reservation of the housing?

You can take a look at the contract in advance and online with every offer. After you sign it, you will find it in the application My Housing.
While arranging a contract on HousingAnywhere, you do not have to worry that it could be disadvantageous for you. Our contracts are made so that we avoid all problems! All of them are the same, used by all the landlords on HousingAnywhere.

Can I see my chosen accommodation in person before I sign the lease agreement?

Your time is precious. That's why we've added a virtual tour option to our platform so you can see some of the rentals listed on HousingAnywhere from the comfort of your own home.
If a virtual tour isn't available for the accommodation you've chosen, you can contact the landlord and ask them if they're willing to give you a personal tour of the rental unit.
If you move in and find that the rented accommodation doesn't match the information on HousingAnywhere at the time the reservation request was sent to the landlord, you can withdraw from the lease agreement under certain circumstances explained in this article in our help center.
Also, under our "secure move-in" policy, we'll assist you with moving to an alternative accommodation if you report within a certain period of time that the rental unit doesn't match the ad and the landlord doesn't fix the problem immediately. You can read the details in our help center.

How can I pay?

On HousingAnywhere, you have a variety of payment methods to choose from. You can use your card, payment gateway or bank transfer. Just pick the one which suits you the most.

How can I cancel my reservation?

How you can cancel a reservation varies depending on what stage the reservation is in.
Is your reservation request still waiting for landlord approval? Then you can simply cancel it directly from your My Housing web app!
However, suppose the owner has already approved your reservation request, and you are no longer interested in it. In that case, you can still cancel the reservation before you sign the lease agreement. Just consider that you should do this only in essential cases. Because when the landlord accepts your reservation, their property is stopped being advertised, and they can lose the chance to rent their property to someone else.
Do you have an approved reservation and also a valid agreement? In order to cancel your reservation, contact HousingAnywhere customer support well in advance of your contract beginning (the specific time and amount of refund depends on the type of cancelation policy).
