Brenda was very welcoming and the apartment was pretty much as we expected. With frequent Airbnb use, you can expect a little bit of wear and tear but everything worked especially the all important wi-fi. The area was great - close but not too close to the City Centre. You need a day to orientate yourself around the canals but then it is all plain sailing. The term penthouse conjures up images of luxury. The apartment is not luxurious but it is stylish and functional. Marc and Brenda's guide proved to be very useful and Tripadvisor was quite good in helping us find some good local spots. We loved Spaghetteria. Our only nit and one which we saw on other reviews were the pillows.
