Location was terrific for exploring Rotterdam and beyond. Quiet residential area, 10-15 mins walk from Centraal station or #23 tram. The shops, tram stops and places to eat are just one street away, and there's a friendly bar on corner. Apartment is larger and more stylish than we expected from photos. The 4 flights of steep stairs really are a killer but they're also very typically Dutch. We were apprehensive about sharing a toilet but it was just outside the room on the same floor and was only used occasionally by one other person. The washing-machine is in your own bathroom so very private and we used it twice, during our 8 night stay. Really great value accommodation and very private too. The host lives with his family next door and we only saw him once, when we checked in. During our stay, we just phoned if we needed anything or had questions, and he was always friendly and helpful. Would definitely stay here again.
