The apartment is located in a nice neighborhood, it felt safe and was conveniently located close to good restaurants, shops and a nearby train station. Marijke was generous with tips for things to do and see nearby.

The accommodation is listed as Non Smoking. This is very misleading, as Marijke smokes in the house which causes smoke to fill the bedroom, hallway, toilet and shared bathroom areas, which made for a not-so-pleasant stay. There is no window to open for fresh air, anywhere. So you are dependant on the (smoky) ventilation of the rest of the house.

After alerting Marijke to the smoke smell being bothersome she switched on a 'air-cleaner' in the hallway and promised to keep the connecting door between her living/kitchen area and the hallway, closed. Unfortunately this only helped a little with the smell, and Marijke often left the connecting door open, so the smoke permeated.

Another concern was that every door in the entire apartment had a lock, except for the bedroom door, which was rather odd and made for very little privacy.
