Frequent rotterdam visitor
I regularly come to rotterdam for barbering classes at The Old School Barber Academy by Schorem on nieuwe binnenweg and find different stays each time. This apartment was was SUPER close to the academy, only took me about 10 minutes to walk in every day. Super easy to get in and out of the city center by foot. Lots of restaurants in the area and shopping.
If you’re not used to older buildings you may have to fuss a little with the lock on the front door initially but once you’ve figured out the sweet spot you won’t have any problems getting in and out.
The stairs are steep and tight, but that’s how most of the building in rotterdam and Amsterdam are. Getting large luggage up the stairs on your own will be a workout but if you’re having a longer stay it’s worth the effort. Homeowner provided a complimentary bottle of sparkling water as well as a Heineken in the fridge and the cupboards and pantry were stocked with dishes, cookware and salt and pepper, sugar, vinegar, seasoning, coffee and tea.
The unit is on a main road so there is some noise pollution but I personally love rotterdam so much and it doesn’t bother me.
The window in the bedroom also looks out onto the neighbouring buildings and courtyards in the back with lots of foliage so it feels like there’s a quieter escape space right in the apartment.
Clean sheets and towels were provided, bed was comfy,
Would stay again.
