Kurt was a wonderful host. Every time I asked a question I received an answer almost immediately. The photos of the apartment are absolutely accurate. It is a well equipped apartment with a very pleasant view over the canal. We had our own car and went into the city each day, parking (reasonably) in many available garages. As such we did not use public transport, although I am assured there are buses and metro nearby. A well stocked supermarket is reasonably close. Arrangements for parking one's own car needs to be worked out in advance with Kurt as on street parking (apart from weekends) would be almost impossible. Overall, a most pleasant stay. Thank you Kurt!
