Natalia's apartment is very chic, with comfortable but classy furniture and all the conveniences you need. The views over the river and canal are lovely--you can see the steeple of Zuiderkirk in the distance. Opening the windows in the living room and bedroom gives you a great cross breeze and keeps things cool even if the weather is warm. (If you leave the bedroom window wide open, you might get a friendly feline visitor or two, so keep an eye out for that and don't shut them inside by accident.) The location is perfect--both tourist attractions and basic necessities like a grocery store are right around the corner. We bought a three-day transit pass and almost never used it, because we could walk to everything we wanted to do. Despite that, it's a quiet block, with nothing nearby that will disturb your sleep. Natalia herself replied almost instantly to every message we sent (despite being on her own vacation!), helping us find things we needed like recycling collection bins.
