The living room is equipped with satellite TV and a CD player. The eat-in kitchen has ample counter space as well as an oven, stove, dishwasher, microwave, toaster, American-style coffee maker, juicer, food processor, and washing machine/dryer. A large foyer (with adjacent WC) leads into the dining room, filled with antique furnishings and a marble dining table which seats 12.
