The old town is one of the nicest parts of the city. Lots of small restaurants and bars, steeped in history, but it can be hard to find good quality properties there, and there’s always a little sacrifice that has to be made.

This penthouse apartment is over 131m2, enough room for a large living room, separate dining room/kitchen, 3 bedrooms, 2 of those ensuite, 3 bathrooms in total. Oh yeah, there’s also a roof terrace. In fact if you were considering a bit of mid-term rental, this ticks a lot of boxes, won’t have too many empty months.

What there isn’t though is a lift. This is the third floor, quite doable for most people, in fact some would say no bad thing to incorporate a little bit of exercise into your daily routine. Some people might say those people can mind their own bloody business, but they’re probably right. And if you don’t enjoy the steps, I’ll tell you what I was told when we were young and had to do something we didn’t like – ‘Offer it up for the holy souls’.

So buy this apartment, and every time you walk up the stairs you’ll have that feel-good feeling of releasing another soul from Purgatory. And can you really put a price on that?

Didn’t think so.
