This is a nice, spacious apartment with a great terrace. To enter the apartment you enter a fresh smelling passageway lined with greenery. It's very secure with three keyed entrances to the steps/lift, though there was never any concern for safety. The entire building is outdoor so you feel the temperature when you exit the apartment. Also, noise in the hallways and courtyard can be heard and may be bothersome when sleeping.
Its location is in a residential area with plenty of small restaurants and great canal views. There's easy access to trams and subways which can take you anywhere in the city. The walk to the main tourist areas is about 30 minutes. This is a place and area I would choose again.
