"The appartment was really big, spacious and 3 out of 4 walls were in windows, which made rhe room opened, bright. But had curtains to close at night. A small kitchen was also nice, just enough to use for basic dinner. Loved it."

Utrecht is the perfect alternative (and base in The Netherlands) to Amsterdam - which is so heavily run-over with tourists - you still get to enjoy the canals & get a feel for the local culture in a much more laid back city.
