Whether you're here for a weekend escape or an extended corporate stay, each apartment provides a sanctuary where you can unwind after exploring everything this dynamic neighbourhood has to offer. At the top of the building, this studio provides the most elevated perspective of Crown Street’s creative pulse. The Juliet balcony invites you to soak in panoramic street views, while the queen-sized bed ensures restful nights. A fully equipped kitchen complete with electric hob, oven, microwave, coffee pod machine, fridge-freezer, kettle, toaster, and full cookware, sets the stage for both culinary adventures and quick meals.
