This is where you should stay in Amsterdam. It's just outside the canal area, a short walk from the major museums, and also close to a popular open-air market. The loft itself is cozy and charming, with all the amenities you'd want, even for a longer stay. The hosts make sure you don't want for anything.
And that's what really sets this place apart. Tess and Jay. They're a fun and friendly a couple with two great dogs, and they want you to feel at home. They gave me precise instructions for the airport bus, fetched me at the stop (10-15 minutes from their house), helped carry my bags, and then welcomed me into their home with refreshments and human warmth. Their good vibes really set the tone for my two-day trip.
