Fun neighborhood with lovely shops and cafes. The Metro was a short walk and got us everywhere we wanted to go. The staff is awesome, always pointing us in the right direction. It was also such a pleasure to sit in their cafe, enjoy the delicious coffee, juices, fruits and croissants, and especially the lively and fun conversation! Be sure to try and catch the boats using the lock system on the canal in front of the hotel-definitely not something you see every day! The area was very lively and the people you meet were great, just be sure to use the earplugs that are provided. The street scene could be a little loud if you're an early to bed kind of person. Would definitely stay again!
