Monique and Jip's place is in a really hip and trendy part of Amsterdam called De Pijp. The area has loads of nice places to eat and drink nearby. Our favourite for breakfast was Bij Paul.
The area is well linked by public transport. Centrum was a 15 minute tram ride away or 30 mins walk through the city.
There was great communication with Monique & Jip and Jip was there to greet us when we arrived. Towels were provided and there was a Nespresso machine too. Jip provided us with a map of the city and showed us some sights on it. The apartment was very clean and cosy. There was a fridge and sink and the shower was nice too. I'd definitely recommend Monique and Jip as hosts and would love stay them again.
