We had a great time at their place. They gave us great recommendations, even a wonderful nanny who we used after we left their place, and also gave us gift baskets including toys for our daughter and wine. They have a beautiful home, and a stylish space. It is a very comfortable home. A few things to be aware of. The stairs are very steep by American standards, so if you have children, it’s something to be aware of. Our toddler was fine, as long as we were with her, watching to make sure that she was carefully going up and down. We arrived after a heat wave, and that meant that there were a lot of spiders on the island, including some in the house. If you have a problem with spiders, you should ask to see if it still exists before booking. Finally, in terms of constructive criticism, the Wi-Fi does not reach the top floor, which is where the bedrooms are. But we did mention it to the owners, and perhaps it has now been taken care of, so check on that as well if Wi-Fi is something that you need in your bedroom, or while in bed at night. It really is a wonderful space, with an amazing backyard, including a pond with fish in it, and wonderful vegetation. They provide bicycles for their guests, which is very rare, and it is walking distance to a tram stop that can take you directly into Amsterdam Central. The communication was some of the best we’ve ever had, and overall this place was a big thumbs up.
