Walk-up Wonder

This Olina Lodge walk-up apartment isn’t necessarily perfect
for everyone – but it is for English teacher LINDA DE FLAVIS.
I’m panting lightly by the time I get to the fourth and top floor.
It’s worth the climb, though. This older apartment is a series
of open, airy rooms running the entire width of the block, with
a hemispherical balcony at each end.
Linda shares her home with her 20-year-old son Nathan,
who is currently doing an IT programme. Their helper, Diya,
has the third bedroom.
