About this place
We include a small number of properties that are not step-free, described just as carefully as the rest. This loft is reached by a straight flight of twelve stairs with a handrail on one side. It suits guests who can manage stairs but want reliable detail on lighting, noise and grab rails. We inspected it in person.

Grab rails fittedQuiet location“Refreshing to see a listing that is honest about stairs rather than hiding them. The handrail and grab rail were exactly where they said.”
