There are plenty of toys for children under 5, including: Lego, dolls, cars, books, games, a bike, a tricycle, a scooter, craft materials, and an inflatable paddling pool for little ones to use on the balcony. We also have lots of board games, books, and comics for older kids and teenagers.

There are 2 parks nearby with playgrounds (at both ends of the street), one of which has a sand pit, as well as a free outdoor swimming pool (during the summer months) and tennis courts just a few minutes away.

There is natural wood flooring throughout the apartment (unglazed), so please no water or any liquids on it.
Simply take care of our apartment as if it were your own. We will of course do the same on our side. :-)
