10 lovely small balconies. Enough space for a small table + 2 chairs, a very comfy bench seat w outdoor cushion and gorgeous pillows, my collection of small Australian native plants, my attempts at growing edibles, a couple small and quirky decorative items, and a little of space in the corner for my compost. 💗 It's a tough place to be permanently, but it's gorgeous and a great afternoon hangout.
