Paulien's place is the best of the best. I stayed for just over three weeks while taking a class at UVA. Her place was a home away from home. It was private, safe, comfortable, in a beautiful neighborhood, and had everything I needed during my stay. Paulien is terrific in her communication, and any questions I had were answered in under an hour. She went above and beyond to help me acclimate and feel at home. I would recommend this to anyone traveling alone and especially a woman traveling alone. I felt secure and peaceful in Paulien's space. The location is also a quick walk or tram away from anything you need, including restaurants, grocery stores, laundry, and stores!! The apartment is also very close to a beautiful canal and fantastic park. Paulien and her space deserve the highest recommendations.
