The location was ideal for our purpose of sleeping as we were mostly out and about during the day. It is close to a tram stop which we used throughout the time that we were there (15mins by tram to the center). The area is very quiet and safe as it is in a residential area. Not too much hustle and bustle as you get around the center of the city. There are a couple places to eat nearby ,which Mieke can recommend, if you happen to come late (like I did).
The room for rent has a window where you sleep which faces a nice view of a canal. However, it also faces a hallway where residents may walk by to their own living quarters. There is a light by this hallway which may disturb your sleep if you are a light sleeper.
Overall the room was clean and the area is nice.
