Vanessa very early on let me know that she would not be able to welcome us herself but she ensured that we were very well taken care of. When we arrived she had left us a very handy list of things to do and some excellent restaurant recommendations (and some of my favourite chocolate as a welcome gift :) ). The apartment itself is a magnificent example of modern architecture and furnishing, truly an exceptional place to stay right on one of the pretty, somewhat off the beaten tourist track, canals. The place has excellent access to public transit (tram line 3 goes around the city, the bus to central station comes every five minutes). The place is wonderful for people with two kids but a couple who'd like to have a bit of extra place would very much enjoy this apartment as well.
