An amazing stay in Amsterdam. Jaap's hospitality was exceptional as was the communication leading up to our stay.
The flat is situated a stone's throw from the Amstel River, which you can see from the terrace that overlooks the surrounding city. We especially loved that we weren't in the very busy city center but could easily walk/tram/metro when needed.
The ease of food/drink shopping is taken care of by the close food market as well as a wine/liquor store. There are many restaurants nearby for those wanting to stay local and the Metro is around the corner for easy access into the city center when needed.
We mostly chose to walk into the city, which takes about a half hour by foot and we highly recommend to get a better view of areas such as De Pijp, parks, etc. There is also an open air market Monday-Saturday near called Albert Cuypmarkt, which sells Dutch specialties like herring and stroopwafles .
The apartment had all the amenities needed and beyond. Only warning is for those traveling with small children and/or older adults; be advised the stairs are incredibly steep, which is a commonality in the Netherlands. The main floor of the apartment offers an exceptionally large modern living room, kitchen, toilet, and dining area. For the bedrooms and full bath, you must go up to the next floor and of course, the terrace is another quick flight of stairs up.
