The apartment was exactly as seen in the pictures, but it didn't capture how warm and comfortable it really is. The view from the window is classic Amsterdam with a canal along the quiet street. Buses and streetcars are less than half a block and numerous restaurants are steps away. Within walking distances are the Anne Frank House, Dam Square, and Central Station is a little further. Marcel was super informative on how to get to the place as well as points of interest. His mother waited for us at the apartment, and she is so nice and wonderful, she showed us how to operate the appliances and set us up in the apartment. They left us well stocked with breakfast stuff, including pastries, wine and some beers. (Thank you so much for all of this Marcel). We highly recommend this place and we hope to return to this apartment when we come back.
