I loved staying in Sophia's apartment! I rented the apartment for 6 nights to attend a conference at the Vrije University. It was literally 5 minutes walk to the main entrance of the university (and less to the tram stop for easy transport to other places). The location could not have been better for me, but what I loved most was how peaceful it was. The apartment is small, but the windows are big. All you see out the windows is green and all you hear are gentle duck and other bird sounds. The lounge and bedroom look over the small garden with a hedge, beyond the hedge is a small stretch of mown lawn surrounded by big trees and beyond that is the canal. Except for the occasional person walking their dog, hardly anybody walks next to the canal, so it is very private. It is also lovely and sunny (when the sun shines) in the garden and in the lounge.

Sophia was also very friendly and helpful and was quick to respond to messages. If I ever need to travel to Amsterdam again, I hope Sophia's apartment is available, because I would book it again without thinking twice.
