D’s apartment is on the third floor up a narrow stairway. It is quite hard to climb up with big luggage but Michiel met us at the door as agreed upon and helped us carry it up. Kitchen is well equipped for cooking, although it does not have a microwave. The place is in walking distance from Centraal station, so it is convenient for travel but supermarkets are about 10 minutes away. It’s warm and quiet, with a lot of hot water, and makes you feel like a resident. Michiel is easy to reach and is very responsive.
