Marco provided great instructions on how to find his place.....don't rely on Google to show you where the property is! The distance from the train station takes about 15-20 mins slowly lugging suitcases.....completely do-able.
His apartment is large & quiet for sleeping as the bedrooms are to the back of the property. The beds were comfortable (firm), the pillows perhaps a little hard (personal preferences differ of course). Great sized bathroom.
The canal gets lively - exactly as you'd expect! A lovely outlook!
It was also clean & had everything we needed (except maybe more loo paper).
The area felt safe and was central to cafés & a great little supermarket.
Not too many stairs (only up one storey).
The only tip I'd have would be to be aware that even in Spring it can be quite chilly & regulations mean no use of heaters so bring warm pyjamas!
