==Map==
I checked out the loft and it looks nice. Plenty of space incl. toilet and shower, a small storage and a kitchen. Floor is Laminat. Real estate agent said that we might have some extra walls. I personally wouldn't recommend that as the open solution gives us the maximum flexibility. Neighbors are studios with young people, so we may listen to music and there is a café downstairs. It is very central (10 minutes walk from the railway station). You shouldn't come by car... parking is not so easy and the police is next door :-)
