The One: where Old Town living gets a little more New York loft and a lot more fabulous. Right in the beating heart of Old Town, this larger-than-average part-furnished first floor apartment is one of those rare finds that feels instantly different. Think oversized proportions, brilliant natural light, two proper double bedrooms and the sort of open-plan living space that practically demands a dinner party and a playlist that starts with jazz and somehow ends with 90s classics.

Step through the front door and into a generous entrance hall, before the apartment opens up into an impressively large living/dining/kitchen space. Bright, airy and wonderfully social, this is very much the heart of the home. The kitchen comes complete with appliances, while the living space has that elusive friends-loft feel: plenty of room to cook, work, unwind and spread out without tripping over the furniture.

The two bedrooms are both genuine doubles, not the sort optimistically described as "double-ish". Whether you need a guest room, dressing room, home office or simply somewhere to retreat with the curtains drawn and a good book, there is space here to make it your own. The bathroom is smart and practical, complete with a shower over the bath.

Then there is the real Old Town unicorn: your own private parking space. In this part of town, that is less a convenience and more a small miracle wrapped in tarmac.

Outside your front door, Old Town unfurls in all its glory. Start the morning with coffee and a stroll through Town Gardens. Spend lazy Saturdays hunting for your next read in Berts Books, long lunches at Rockin’ Bean and evenings over tapas and a glass of Rioja at Los Gatos. The bus stop is right outside, the rest of town is within easy reach, and yet when you close the front door, the apartment still feels like your own calm little hideaway above it all.

Electric heating.
