Mayfair Loft

A unique, spacious & open-plan loft apartment in the center of Mayfair. It is on the fifth (top) floor of a period building. Great rooftop views, outside balcony, kitchen, bedroom & 2 bathrooms (one with tub). The elevator runs to the Fourth Floor and then there are 16 steps to the apartment. Due to the stairs up from the fourth floor it is not really suitable for small children (who require buggies etc) or people with mobility difficulties. Note: the apartment is now painted light grey.
