Dirks apartment is on the ground floor directly opposite a canal. We appreciated how big it was-our party of 5 included a 5 month old baby, and it was especially handy because of this. The area is quite nice, there are several shops nearby and getting into the city centre is either a walk or tram ride away. The apartment itself was spacious and clean, there were lots of plants and light and everything you need is there. We all enjoyed different aspects of the apartment (my mum liked having a TV with some english channels, dad liked the family sized dining table, I liked the ease with which we could come and go (with a pram) and my partner liked the comfortable (and large) beds. Dirk is warm and personable and seems to have perfected the nuances of having guests in his home. We really liked this place and would recommend to other people who want to be close to the city centre but still be able to have space and quiet.
