The apartment is clean, and very spacious, it is secure and has the added benefit of undeground parking space. Great Wifi and a huge TV. I would imagine the balcony overlooking the canal will be great in the summer months. It represents great value for money given the size and quality of the furnishings. Historically the area the apartment is located is not great, but can be described as "up and coming" Besides, the money you save compared with simular sized accomodation in the city centre will more than cover transport into and out of the tourist hotspots.
