We booked this apartment because of the grand view and were indeed blown away: absolutely stunning. Lots of privacy too: you can look out, but nobody can look in. We loved having breakfast overlooking the bay in the morning.
We never met our host in person, but he was timely in responding to our questions, gave lots of advice and even made sure we had a welcome package in the fridge for the first days of our stay! He was very flexible with checking in and out. All in all we felt very welcome and enjoyed our stay.

Some room for improvement: the couch is a bit old and does not do the apartment justice! Also, matching dinnerware would be a plus :-)

Good to know beforehand: The kitchen is not extremely well equipped for cooking elaborate diners, if that is something you would want to do. For us it was no problem, we ate out every night. Kitchen is fine for cooking breakfast and small dishes.
Parking on the street can be difficult, but there is a public parking place right down the street, which is really convenient.
The bed is extremely comfortable but the street can be a bit noisy.

I would rent this apartment again.
