We had a wonderful stay at Hans' place. The communication was great, Hans was very helpful and nice. He helped us with our luggage and explained everything patiently. The apartment was very clean (and I am a clean freak). Hans lest us some beer, water and chocolates, which was a very nice touch.
The place is very close to the city center (15-20 minute walk), and yet the neighborhood is quiet.
We had a wonderful time having breakfast with a view on the canal and bridge (even got to see it go up as ships pass). We would stay at Hans' again if and when possible.
