The building is reached through an alley off Le Lai street, and the calm lane makes it a quieter base than the busy road outside.

The kitchen comes with a microwave, refrigerator, kettle, stovetop and oven, and the private bathroom has a bath or shower and free toiletries.

Every unit has air conditioning, a private bathroom and a kitchen, and each has a patio and a tile or marble floor.

The two apartments differ mainly in size and outlook. The 37 m² apartment is the smaller of the pair, while the 40 m² loft adds a balcony with landmark and city views.
