I don't want to tell anyone about this apartment, because it was so fabulous, but then I don't want to be selfish, so I recommend you stay here. The balcony is like a Romeo & Juliette balcony where you can sit (snuggly) and watch the world go by. There are restaurants and bars, boatson the canal and peeps walking by below you. We are going back in Feb/March without the kids to take more of the views and location in x
