Highly recommend staying in Richard's apartment. Great location close to canals and "skinny bridge," within easy walking or biking distance to market, restaurants, shops, museums, etc. Very clean and nice layout with a floor plan that provided privacy for my husband and me in the back bedroom and our teenage daughter on the pull-out in the front living room. Spacious bath with loads of storage area to spread out toiletries, etc. Roomy, well-equipped kitchen and cozy couch, and the back bedroom with comfy bed looks out over a lovely garden. Could hear the fun sounds of the city, but not so noisy as to interfere with sleep at a reasonable hour. Richard was a gracious host, easy to reach even while out of country, and accommodating. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay.
