The apartment is a fabulous location really close to the canals and all of the best nightlife.
Vasco was a great host and always contactable. He met us at the apartment and showed us around then checked in with us during our stay to make sure we were getting on OK.
There was everything we needed at the appt and although we didn't cook (there were too many nice restaurants to try!) having all the facilities would be handy if you did want to eat in. The bed was super comfy and the whole place is really tastefully decorated.
Definitely take Vasco's recommendations in terms of where to visit - we saw some gorgeous places we wouldn't have otherwise gone to!
