Lora was a great accommodating host. She met us at the Apt and was always available with answers to questions or suggestions to make our stay enjoyable. Due to our flight time, we got there considerably early but she was able to let us put our things inside the building until such time as the cleaners were finished.
The neighborhood is nice, we felt safe. Many things close by including grocery and Bike rental and its just one block from the Amstel river which, as a visitor I felt like the river is as vein to anything you want to do in the city. A very short walk to a huge outdoor market where you can get all things from soap, rugs, and clothing to candy, fish and vegatables!! Not so short but still walkable (we rented bikes after the first day) to touristy attractions but that makes for a quiet and more local feeling visit. It rained a bit so as Americans we missed having TV but there were games and free wifi to satisfy even my Teenagers!! We really enjoyed our stay and would definately rent there again (in spite of the four story steap winding stairs that gave us a good memory to look back on and smile)
