Brigitte's place is a little corner of magical peace tucked away inside Amsterdam's charming straatjes and canals. The flat is one floor above ground level, and it stretches from the front of the building to its back, comprised of two rooms and a kitchen, arranged around a bathroom. On the bedroom / kitchen side, a balcony with a little table and a cute seating area is the perfect spot for an energizing brunch or a lazy afternoon tea. Inside, the kitchen is spotless and well equipped, and the bedroom is cozy and inviting. The living room, just like the rest of the place, is kept clean and decorated meticulously.
Our stay was great. This flat really was the perfect couple's nest, positioned just right for us to plan our excursions around the beautiful city, and to come back to our own oasis and relax. Brigitte started us off with a few select tips, but really it felt like we couldn't go wrong; anywhere we went, we'd find an interesting place to explore, eat at, or just hang out.
Brigitte is a warm, welcoming host. She took time out of her day to welcome us and show us around her place in much detail, and communicated with us impeccably. We incurred in a minor misunderstanding, as Brigitte had asked us to not have people over, which we'd understood to mean sleeping guests. We had a few guests over for a slice of cake, and Brigitte was kind enough to ring the doorbell and inform us of our mistake, upon which we ushered everyone out. Mistake on our part for not understanding the rules and acting like we would have at home. Sorry again about that Brigitte!
At the end of our short stay, we couldn't believe we'd have to leave this cozy flat which already had begun feeling homey. And we'd go back tomorrow, if we could :)
