Lida's place is in the east side of the city, which my Dutch friends told me is the best part. It was a safe and quiet residential neighborhood, perfect for walking to nearby shops and cafes and all over the city. The space is stylish, with a nice view of the canal. Although there was a shared bathroom, I never had to wait to use it, nor was it ever dirty. I really appreciated Lida being able to remotely let me in upon arrival, and the delicious snacks she left were such a nice touch!
