This is a great location because there's so much life happening in this area, and it's close to shopping, transit, sights. We found it great for 4 people (you have to go through one bedroom to get to the back). It was a great home base for us to eat out or eat in, and spend the days exploring. We were here when it was super hot in the summer. Cait provided a portable A/C and it was manageable. People in Rotterdam like to stay up past 3 am at the restaurants below the unit and the sound is very noisy in the living room. It was ok for us. The trade off to be close to the action was worth it, but don't expect quiet.
