Maan & Mireille are wonderful hosts. They were always open to communication and attended to our every need. The location of the apartment is perfect. It sits just at the rim of the last outer canal that surrounds the city. Walk north of the apartment and you'll be roaming in the city within 10mins. Walk south and you'll find the famous museums and parks which are very family friendly. The design and furnishing of the apartment are very thoughtful. It was freezing when we first arrived in Amsterdam. But it was such a relief that the house was very well heated (toilet, room and even floor heating). There was also a nice yard which allowed natural sunlight into the apartment and a fully furnished kitchen, which you won't really need since the apartment lies along 2 streets of restaurants and pubs. We travelled with our 15mth daughter and she loved it. She slept well in the baby cot provided and was always gazing out through the yard, looking for baby birds ;)
