Absolutely amazing sums up our trip:

Marloes & Gabriel were incredible hosts! And we were very lucky to have them as our first experience of Air BnB. They went above and beyond to make sure we had everything we needed, that we were comfortable and happy! They were very clear and quick in communication from the start and were very kind in catering to our check in time, even when we changed it the day before! They gave us a great welcome, but then gave us space to do our thing. Honestly cannot speak highly enough of them! Not to mention the free sparkling wine, info sheet with all their details, transport options, and numbers for emergency!

The apartment itself is absolutely fantastic. For everything. The location is perfect for a start - 2 minute walk to the tram station, and 10/15 minutes to the centre (Amsterdam Centrum). It couldn't be easier. And there's actually 2 trams to choose from... As well as a free parking spot!

The neighborhood itself is quiet, peaceful and really quite beautiful; canals, nice residential streets, ponds/ lakes, and a huge park over the road too! Local shops and petrol station nearby.

The actual apartment is brand new and exactly what we wanted; spacious, comfortable, quiet and relaxing. The main room - the bedroom with kitchenette - is perfect, the bed is incredible - very comfy and adjustable! And with the cable tv above, makes it even better!

The kitchenette has everything you need to cook a nice meal and sit down (as a couple) if you want to - which we did and it was lovely - without feeling cramped etc.

The bathroom is stunning, and the walk-in shower with rain shower-head is just perfect. It has everything you need, even a really decent hair dryer (for the girls).

And then the french doors onto the beautiful patio/ garden area - sublime. The whole house and lot that it is built on is stunning. Great modern design with lovely features. And what makes it even better is that it backs on to an absolutely beautiful park!

If anything, the whole listing (hosts included) were better than we expected, and we really don't have a bad word to say about it and them!
