  : Our apartment had a double room and a twin room, which were both very nice with comfortable beds and decent storage in both rooms. The living room/kitchen area was pretty well appointed and the decor was really nice. The bathroom is lovely and the separate toilet was a benefit. The location wasnt too bad it may have been too far from the city centre for some but theres a bus stop only a short walk away and the 22 bus takes just a few minutes to get you there, plus it comes very regularly and runs until midnight. It was helpful to have a lift available as the stairs are incredibly steep! The area is pretty quiet and theres a nice view of the canal at the rear. A few minutes walk down the road are a couple of bars and restaurants (by the big windmill) and 10-15 minutes walk south is a small high street with a AH supermarket.
  : The living room/kitchen area was a little small when all of us were in there considering the apartment slept 4 people, only providing us with a 2 seater sofa and 1 armchair felt amiss. We also felt it was missing a toaster which is pretty standard in British kitchens but perhaps not in the Netherlands! The online entry system is cool but I did worry about coming home late and it not working, especially as the building isnt attended which also means there are no luggage storage facilities if you arrive before the check in time (as we did although we were offered the option of leaving them at another location). The bedrooms each needed a big mirror within reach of a plug socket for hairdryers etc. The toilet also needs its own mirror and a towel rail or hook. The windows in the living room were a problem the larger window was tricky to open/close and the smaller window (on the right) was broken so there was permanently noise coming through from the passing trains and the wind. The apartment wasnt quite as clean as it could have been; in particular there was a lot of dust on the rug and under the sofa.

  : The bedroom is comfortable.
  : We did not have hot water until 3pm of our 2nd day. It was such a burden.The sleeping couch (in the living room) is extremely uncomfortable. Maybe only small kids can sleep well there.Location isnt good either.

  : Facilities were good, clean and modern. Beds were comfortable, security good and well appointed. Only 5 mins walk from tram stops to central location. A few local bars and supermarket near by.
  : Not enough comfortable chairs for five persons to sit. Lack of lamps in lounge area (needed at night for those sleeping on sofa bed) Not enough toilet roll left. May be a bizarre one but the duvet covers were really noisy, like opening a crisp packet every time you moved!
