Other Things to Note: The Cellar occupies the basement level of the property and therefore retains many of the features you would come to expect from a converted cellar, including lower ceilings and reduced natural light. Some residue from the original sandstone floor may at times appear throughout the apartment. It is a fantastic, unique space however these factors should be considered when booking the apartment.
Interaction with Guests: If you encounter issues or have any questions during your stay, we are only a phone call away.
Please note that when booking and paying by card, a small fee will appear on your statement as a “ReslyPay” charge. This fee is set by the booking platform and is not controlled by us. Thank you for your understanding.
