Nicely decorated apartment, exactly as on the pictures!
And yes, the private garden is real and it is a huge deal when you rest at the end of a busy day.
I didn't use the kitchen, but noticed it has any kitchenware you can imagine.
The neighborhood was dead quiet both during the day and at night (I'm a sensitive sleeper).
Also, a very convenient location! An Albert Heijn store and a metro station right at the corner. Keep in mind though that AH stores _do not_ accept Visa/MC cards, so have some cash with you.
Rotterdam Centraal is within walking distance (15 min, choose the exit at the end of the station, platforms 15/16th), or 1 stop by metro.
I was met by a Laurens' friend, very nice and positive guy who showed me the apartment and also recommended the Rotterdam Tours app. This app is a gem, thanks so much for it!
Laurens was constantly in touch with me during the trip, but overall there was nothing much to discuss, the apartment was perfect. Highly recommend!
