Just doors apart, what ties these two establishments together - aside from their shared reception desk - is a wonderfully realised 'modernised colonial' style. In Ackselhaus each apartment has a bedroom, sitting room, bathroom and kitchenette, with old wooden floorboards, white walls, antique furniture and a Mediterranean feel. The pricier Bluehome (at no.24), with its blue façade and balconies, is home to the Club del Mar restaurant, which offers a breakfast buffet and open fireplace. There's also a delightful garden out back, complete with lawn chairs in summer.
