Personal comments
Cost was higher than actual cost for apts in same building...yet zero work needed to be planned prior to arriving except pay and move in. Once deciding to remain in holland i had dozens of contacts to help find places to rent.
Still hassle free to make move overseas for study...well worth cost

Too many to name...we always looked for a new bar / cafe to hit up as we went out since every street / corner had a bar / cafe.
