Warm-hearted and very helpful hosts, perfect location and unique neighborhood!
That's how I can summarize and/or entitle my experience at Jan & Desti's house.
First of all, I would like to thank them for waiting for my very late check-in, because of my night flight, which was in fact against their house policy and rules.
The location is perfect: You don't feel yourself in the city, it is more like a country-like environment. One can easily walk barefoot towards the canal and sit comfortably. Transportation (tram, etc.) and markets are in walking distance as well. There is also a park nearby.
The house is very useful: It is "without stairs", on a level with the street which is very handy. It also has a nice kitchen, a refrigerator full of breakfast food, cheese, wine, etc. Bed is comfy. The room is perfect for two persons. The furnishings and interior look new and well kept. The bathroom has been built under staircase, so it's kind of compact, with a tiny washbasin, but not claustrophobic at all. Both kitchen and bathroom look pretty new. Canal view is also available by your window.
The house worths for its price indeed. Price/performance value is perfect.
Bicycles are available for the guests as well. So you don't have to rent them, they are free to use. Hosts supply free tram passes too.
Hosts pay attention to tiny details and they are in continuous effort for making the house more effective, useful and comfortable.
Jan & Desti both helped me for my unfortunate wrist and arm injury that happened before I arrived their house, by bringing me ice, and everything I needed when I asked for help, especially at late night. They did their best, they are so helpful and friendly.
(They are usually out of their house so one does not see them very often, maybe just in the evenings. Guests should be careful not to leave the main door open.)
For my very early departure flight, not only Jan organized a taxi for 4:30 in the morning, but she woke up at 4:00 a.m. and waited altruistically till I left the house. This is very kind of her.
In the past, I stayed in many parts of the city center, but I have never seen a neighborhood so close to nature. I really became fond of the house and its hosts, so I would like to stay there in the future as well, if it's available.
