Martin met me downstairs at the local cafe at the agreed time. He took me up to the apartment and ran me through how everything worked. He then took me for a walk around the neighbourhood, pointing out good places to eat, where to buy fruit, the local boulangerie, etc.
The apartment is great and I felt at home. I enjoyed sitting at the table when I ate at home and watching people along the canal. There's everything you need in the kitchen, the bathroom is a good size and the bed is very comfortable.
