From the galley, down a polished wooden stair is the large, sumptuous and cosy living room with oil burning fire and eye level windows at deck height that provide an airy light feel, while offering cosy privacy - a real feature of the Eva May.
A glass door leads off the living room to a passageway, housing washing/drying machines and off this 3 double bedrooms and the second bathroom. The bedrooms have double beds and fitted furniture which offer plenty of storage for everyday life. The bathroom has toilet, washbasin and a bath/shower. There is a further toilet/shower room leading off the stairway on a small hallway from the galley.
