We stayed at Jutka’s place August 20-25, 2016. We arrived early in the morning and were tired after a loooong flight. Jutka accommodated our needs and made her apartment available upon our arrival, this was a life saver. The apartment is spacious as promised which is unusual for highly populated cities. The big living/dining room has a comfortable couch to rest, have a glass of wine or cup of tea and face a very charming small garden. By the way, a bottle of chilled wine was waiting for us in the fridge. There is a big dining table which will provide a lot of space to lay out your travel maps, land you lap top and still enough room for breakfast, lunch or dinner. The apartment is artistically decorated with original pictures, small jars with live flowers, cute pottery bowls, candle holders and lanterns. The kitchen is well equipped for cooking. We would just make coffee in the mornings and eggs for breakfasts but you can definitely cook over there. There was lot of food on the shelves which we didn’t use but I think it is kind of nice to have it available so you don’t have to run to the store right away so you can use it and replace later. So this apartment feels like home and has its charm if you want to experience the Amsterdam atmosphere. We also enjoyed the area where the apartment is located. It was close to local restaurants and canals; very quiet at night which again is unusual for a big city. When I started looking for a place to stay in Amsterdam all recommendations went to the Central Station area and I found it very busy, noisy and great to spend your day in but seeing it could be uncomfortable when you need your sleep. Communication with Jutka was easy through email or WhatsApp. We would recommend Jutka’s apartment. If you come to this beautiful European city with open heart taking into consideration that all apartments are very small and each square meter is a blessing – it is your place and you would love it. And the pink fridge is something to die for!!!
