the City and are perched above a garden oasis.Two large bedrooms

floor, with a modern windowed bathroom. The fifth floor, a former
artists studio, has been given new life as a spectacular sky-lit
great room, with a large guestroom and beautiful windowed
bathroom.The garden level has two bedrooms, one and a half baths,
