Great location, very quiet on the river side. Beautiful sunsets. Communicating was very easy. It’s great having a dog friendly apartment that doesn’t stipulate sizes! My 30kg poodle mix is basically a very large cat/couch potato. He loved lying on the balcony watching the water (jumping fish!) The apartment is not far from the main walking/cycling path, shops and transport if needed to get to amusement parks. Parking was easy and the garage has a 2.2m height.
