An hospitable modern and cozy apartment located next to Victoriei Square (Piața Operei) in the old town of Timișoara.
Penthouse style, top floor, open-plan, with an awesome balcony, large windows and plenty of natural light in the whole apartment. Central, yet quiet and cozy. Ammenities carefully designed for a comfortable weekly stay.
PS: If your dates are unavailable check out my other apartment - Opera Lavendel - same location, same ammenities.
The space
It's an modern style apartament with plenty of natural light. The dedicated workspace is part of the large bedroom - next to the windows you'll find a nice desk with an ergonomic office chair and a wireless charger.
You will sleep in a king-size high bed (160x200cm) with a memory foam mattress (lots of previous guests really enjoyed the bed), a soft quilt and a variety of pillows to choose from. Some of the pillows in the pictures are decorative, but there are 2 extra pillows, more firm. The bedroom features heavy room-darkening drapes, for a good sleeping environment and also two mirrors - for those times you want your reflection on display.
Beneath the large mirror in the bedroom, there's a yoga mat for your daily morning routine.
You can find a medium-sized closet with hangers and a dresser where you can unpack your belongings. You have an ironing board and an iron in the bedroom (find them in the dresser).
The large bathroom is a highlight for an apartment in Timisoara and features a huge vanity mirror that you have to check out. There's a large sink just beneath it, and a washing machine. A deep hot tub occupies the other side of the bathroom. You'll also find extra towels, a hair dryer, and self-care essentials (shower gel, shampoo, soap) if you forgot to bring your own.
The kitchen is fully-equipped and practical. It has an induction stove for fast cooking, an electrical oven with precise temperature control, a dishwasher, a compact fridge with freezer, a full set of dishes and silverware. Take not that the kitchen island features wheels.
You can find glasses of all shapes and sizes in a cupboard above the dishwasher: crystal-cut wine glasses (yeah, prosecco glasses too) coffee cups and water glasses.
In the kitchen, there's an espresso machine that works with multiple coffee capsules: Nespresso, Nescafe Dolce Gusto or Tchibo. There are some small espresso cups available. There are a couple complimentary coffee capsules on a shelf, but ask me for extra coffee service if needed. Timisoara offers plenty of coffee houses tho. Instant coffee and an intalian moka are also availble.
The living room welcomes you with a four-person dining table with comfy chairs. The table is glass, so use the protection mats provided - on top of the board games collection.
A large TV with HD digital cable and a Netflix guest account await you in front of the living room sofa, but also a stationary bike on the other side of the open space, if you prefer a more active lifestyle, but inside the apartment.
The living room sofa extends to a comfy 140x200 double size bed that can accomodate two people, making the apartment perfect to host four people, and the perfect spot to explore the main square.
The apartment has a balcony where you can get some fresh air, have a private conversation, or maybe enjoy a smoke outside. The balcony is connected to the living room and has a drying rack, for that fresh clothes scent.
The building has an integrated central heating system so you can expect an indoor temperature of about 21-22° Celsius during winter, but you'll have access to air conditioning to adjust the temperature and humidity to your liking.
Yeah... and you can find a lot of natural plants in the apartment. Dracena plan next to the bedroom has lived inside the apartment for over 15 years.
Note: I would not recommend sleeping with the windows open if sound-sensitive. The apartment is really close to the Metropolitan Cathedral, you can expect bell sounds in the morning while having the windows open. Also cleaning crews clean the streets every night around midnight, and twice a week the trash gets picked up around 4am.
Guest access
The building has an intercom that uses a card for access, also an elevator. No stairs unless you want some cardio up to the 7th floor.
The entrance of the building and the elevator look pretty old, but are in perfect working condition.
Free street parking next to the building on weekends, and after 8pm. During weekdays payed street parking in entire Timisoara via TPARK app or sms is available. Two private parkings nearby too.
Other things to note
To ensure everyone enjoys their stay:
- Smoking is not permitted inside either apartment. Opera Sunrise guests may use the balcony.
- No parties
- Please keep noise levels low after 10pm—the building is home to long-term residents who appreciate peaceful evenings
