We arrived fairly late in the evening but Anna received us with a cup of tea and a welcoming smile - we immediately felt at ease. Her flat is located in one of the most desirable neighbourhoods of Amsterdam (I know because I lived in the city for more than twenty years). It is right next to the Vondelpark and for my wife and I it was a real delight to walk through the park to the centre of town and then, later, come back via the park.
What is also great about the location is that on the street round the corner there are some really good restaurants including the best Indonesian restaurant in the city. There are also Thai, Italian, Chinese and more on this street (the Amstelveenseweg) plus a couple of great bars.
Anna's flat is in a really authentic, chic neighbourhood of Amsterdam. It is on a leafy street and is quiet and secure. It is slightly off the beaten tourist track which can be intriguing if you're a visitor to the city. Furthermore, it is very easy to get to from the airport. There is a bus service every 15 minutes (No 197) which drops you within a short walk of the apartment. This is safer than going via the city center and it's very quick (costs 5 euros one way).
We felt that the level of comfort and attention to detail and also the extensive breakfast and last but not least Anna's company made this an unforgettable experience and gave our weekend in Amsterdam a little bit of magic. Thank you Anna!
