The location of Nicolien's house was perfect. Close enough to walk to all the city-center sights but far enough to enjoy the quaint peace and quiet of the beautiful Noordmarket area. The decor and feel of the roomy common area was also very pleasing and homey. The huge couch was a great place to nap for two. I recommend coffee and apple cake/pie (the best) at Winlkles (around the corner) every morning.
