We stayed at the metropolitan from june 11th - 17th.
When i booked the apartment, i knew it was a central location (its not the first time im travelling to Amsterdam), but i just didn't knew how central it really was.
The metropolitan is located at an AMAZING spot. 5-7 minutes from central station, 2 minutes from the main shopping street, 3 minutes from dam square (which basically is the starting point when travelling in Amsterdam).
The apartment is very nice and very well equipped - small kitchen (cant really cook there but there's microwave, coffee machine, fridge and plenty of cutlery etc), cable TV to watch some soccer before falling asleep, shower is excellent you always have hot water, we are smokers so the garden was great...coming back home after a long day outside, sitting in the garden and having a smoke and coffee..just perfect.
Sebastian and Marijn are great. very warm and nice. patient, answering all the questions we had and offering us some tips of their own.
Sebastian let us use his bikes (3 bikes) and actually really upgraded our trip (no more hurting feet! yay!)
to sum it all up - i know that on my next trip to Amsterdam, im gonna stay at the metropolitan again!
oh and last thing - our flight back was at 10pm. our checkout time was 12 pm - Sebastian and Marijn offered that we leave our luggage at their home and when they noticed that they have no reservations for that day, they actually let us use the apartment till we left for the airport without charging any extra fee! ty!
TY Sebastian and Marijn!
