I expected to reach by about 12:00 PM. Missed my train from Brussels and due to some other delays, reached at about 2:00 PM. Akira did everything so that I could check-in my room easily. Thanks Charlie for that. Akira suggested that I take Tram 4, which stops right opposite his apartment. Though You can also take Tram 1, which also stops very near at the Castle. The place is very close to the castle and other happening places and the canal. I and my wife really enjoyed this as we do not like too much foot journey. The apartment was very neat and sufficiently big which is not indicated in the photos and We felt that it actually is better than shown in the photos. All the facilities indicated in the booking confirmation were provided at the apartment. Akira is a wonderful host and he gave me a good suggestions and tips about the place. He was readily available whenever I needed to contact him for his suggestions.
The only shortcoming of the property is the smell from the restaurant that you get when you are going in or out of the apartment. But 10 seconds of the smell is very easily outweighed by the comfort and peace that you get in the apartment.
There are shops nearby and you can get your stuff pretty easily. Sufficient bars and restaurants are also there for you.
