Mijn huis aan de Balthazar Floriszstraat 5-3 is al acht jaar mijn vertrouwde thuis, vanaf mijn studententijd tot aan mijn leven als fulltime werkende. Het appartement biedt een perfecte balans tussen de stadse levendigheid en de rust die ik zoek. Het dakterras op het zuiden is mijn toevluchtsoord – een oase van kalmte waar ik uren kan doorbrengen, terwijl de ruime woonkamer met originele details en een prachtig uitzicht over de stad een uniek karakter aan de woning geven.
De buurt heeft het beste van beide werelden: rustig wonen, vlak bij het Vondelpark en het Museumplein, terwijl de bruisende Pijp en de boetieks aan de Van Baerlestraat op loopafstand liggen. Met meerdere tramhaltes op één minuut afstand is de stad altijd binnen handbereik. Favoriete plekken in de buurt? Café Wildschut, waar ik geniet van de zon met een drankje, en Cafecito voor een heerlijke koffie.
Wat ik het meest zal missen, zijn de zonnige momenten op het dakterras en de unieke combinatie van rust en levendigheid die dit huis me biedt – het voelt als een speciaal thuis.
