Our Favorite Airbnb!
We travel often and this is the second time we’ve stayed at this particular Airbnb unit. It is located conveniently close to Schipol Airport and Frans even offers transport (for a fee) to and from if his schedule allows. We love the location even more because it is outside of Amsterdam’s city center but close enough to bike there. The fact that you can use the regular bicycles (non-E-Bikes) free of charge is a particular bonus so you don’t have to run around trying to rent them and return them - you just have to walk outside and access the fietsenstalling (bicycle garage!). This time, however, we chose to rent the E-bikes due to my husband’s recovery from knee surgery. There were a couple of small electrical/mechanical issues with the bicycles but Frans and his wife both went out of their way to deal with them (taking them to the local bike shop for repair, etc). Aside from the convenience of the bicycles being on-site, the unit itself is great. It’s always sparkling clean and well-stocked and the appliances are great. Plus, you can’t beat the gorgeous location (right on the water!) and the beautiful garden Frans and his lovely wife maintain. They were also both very helpful in answering our questions about the day trips we were planning (to Haarlem, etc.). We’ve stayed here twice and we’ll stay here every time we come to Amsterdam.
