There are plenty of windows and light, but there is no view. Slightly above these suites at the rear are our double maisonettes, with typical school windows. The top floor in our building is occupied by our maisonettes deluxe (3p) and our family maisonettes. These apartments offer a view of the streets leading to the Vrijthof.
