Melissa's apartment is bright, spacious, warm and full of lovely personal touches which made us feel really at home. We have been to Amsterdam a few times before and wanted to explore the East and the North of the city and her apartment was great for this. There are many fantastic cafes and bars within a few minutes walk from her place, plus a great park, and it's also only a 25 minute walk to the centre. Melissa was a friendly, welcoming and super-responsive host - we didn't get to meet her but she was really flexible in arranging check in and check out to fit our plans and had some great local-knowledge recommendations. Would definitely recommend.
