This is a traditional split-level (*very* split-level; see below about the stairs) apartment in the northern parts of Rotterdam. It is fairly spacious (very spacious for the Dutch inner-city context), nicely renovated and well maintained, and stylishly and tastefully furnished and decorated. The kitchen is a bit small but very well equipped. You have access to a nice sheltered small inner garden. The location is perfect, with excellent access to transport options (highways, public transport, share bikes and electrical scooters, etcetera) and many restaurants and shops close by. The only drawback is that a major road (Kleiweg) passes by closely and that this comes with quite a lot of traffic noise, including squealing cornering trams and the occasional heavy truck: in the end I decided that I was better off sleeping with the windows closed even though the weather was quite pleasant. Other guests have already pointed out the steep and high stairs between the ground floor and the bedroom; I had no issues with them whatsoever, but it is a point of consideration in case you have limited mobility or if you suffer from vertigo (really!). Although there were some small issues at the start, Erik bent over backwards to resolve them quickly and adequately, and in general was a very pleasant and accommodating host. All in all I would recommend this place highly if you are not sensitive to noise and can deal with the stairs.
