This is a wonderful place to stay in the heart of Rotterdam! Shirley and Steve are so kind and accommodating. The room and bathroom are huge compared to what you would expect to find in a city center home in the Netherlands, and they've stocked it with snacks, coffee, teas and toiletries -- a nice touch that makes you feel that much more welcome. They also helped answer questions about navigating Rotterdam, borrowing or renting bikes and how to make a side trip to Kinderdijke (which is worth the trip if you're sightseeing!)

As far as location, it's an easy walk from the central train station to the home, and it's about a 20 minute walk (or very quick bike ride) to the Nieuwe Maas waterfront and Witte de Withstraat -- a popular area with trendy restaurants and bars.

Check in was very easy since this is Shirley and Steve's residence. The room is exactly as described in the listing (if not a bit better), and I would highly recommend staying here and will do so again if and when we return to Rotterdam!
