Smooth checkin, place as described, with a great view. neighboorhood has many cozy local cafes and restaurants. Near the center,.but very calm and with a small town fell (some 20 min to the nearest tram/metro, so mostly locals). Host Gertie was nice and very attentive, before, during and right after our stay, with excellent insider tips and directions, and a welcoming soup and breakfast. Three very nice, sunny, warm days. Would definitelly return if again in Roterdam.
