“We lived here for many years to our complete satisfaction and enjoyed the greenery in front of the building and the beautiful eastern part of the city center. The charming surroundings made many an evening stroll along Nieuwe Vaart and Entrepotdok a real pleasure. The good tram and bus connections were a plus. So were the many cafés and restaurants in the area. A supermarket across the street and the lively Dappermarkt made grocery shopping very convenient. Given our age, we are now moving to a service apartment in another part of the city and are saying goodbye to our home with regret.”
