1) Area: Close to bakeries, 2-3 supermarkets, some restaurants, a bus stop (1A) that you're usually not waiting any longer than 1-5 minutes. It's about a 5 minute walk (really easy to get to from the airport too). If you want to take the rail or metro, Osterport is a 10 minutes walk away.
2) Our Stay: The back door is to the recycling and garbage area, so you may hear some people in there sometimes. I suggest to bring eat plugs. It also leads to a huge back yard which is great to hang out there. Beds were great for 3. Twin and a Queen. Shower was not my favorite. It was a little cramped with the curtains and the floor is always wet, so bring flip flopss.
Overall, I enjoyed my stay and would definitely recommend anyone else to stay here. Catharina is very kind and seems more than happy with anything you may need!
