Reviews
Pavel from Czech Republic (8/10)
Very well equipped apartment with lots of space. The small private backyard in front of the living area was perfect. The kitchen had lots of gadgets for cooking (rice cooker, toaster, fresh water barrel). Lots of dishes for multiple persons. Very quiet at night.
Gartcw from Curaçao (9/10)
A very nice place. Close by the metro on two sides. A good bed, well equiped kitchen and all in all very happy with the stay. Also the small outside is pleasant in the evening, chilling a bit.
