Dirk's apartment is a wonderful place to stay in Amsterdam. I'd highly recommend it.
We were able to check into the apartment early and Dirk was available via phone to answer any questions we had. Everything was very well organized and thought out. Dirk and Eliége are a pleasure to deal with.
Pros
1. It's a beautiful and comfortable living space to relax in and recharge
2. Fantastic roof garden to escape from the city
3. It's a 3 minutes walk to the nearest tram stop. You'll be in the nearest city square in 5 minutes. We walked in and out of the city a number of times as well.
4. The Vondelpark is on your door step. It's an amazing place to take a walk around. Bring your boots, there are lots of informal football games on Saturday morning.
5. The local area has a supermarket, dozens of cafes and restaurants all within a few minutes walk. You could spend your trip just exploring locally and you'd have a great holiday.
Cons
1. I don't live in Dirk's apartment
Thank you Dirk and Eliége
