Hans' Place is located immediately across from a canal. The ceilings are high, the space is charming, and there is a small wrought iron balcony from which you may sip coffee or wine and watch the bikes stream by. It's a reasonable walk to Centraal, or a quick taxi or bus ride. Overall the location and the apartment are great. Try the Indonesian place immediately across the bridge, and the Pension Homeland Brewery 1/2 km away. Hans is a great host, and really helpful.
