In comparison to some of the other parts of Rotterdam, the block within which you find Jamil's flat may look a little bit plain. But up the stairs, and through the door it is like you enter a different world of green plants, sky and trees out the windows, and beautiful birdsong. The kitchen is extremely functional, and the apartment feels expansive but also cozy. It's a great relaxing place, close to the metro and several tram lines. There's a bike shop close by, and several bike share services that made it convenient to get around as well (mobike and donkey, at least as of April 2019). As a guest staying for a couple weeks, it really felt like a home away from home.
