Sander is the perfect host. He made us welcome before we even arrived with pre-arrival information and met us on arrival to settle us in. The apartment is as beautiful as the pictures suggest; light, airy, tasteful and extremely comfortable and the view from the window is simply stunning; a wide open vista across the Amstel with the canal life floating on by is both fascinating and extremely relaxing. The fact that it's west facing is an added bonus at sunset! The apartment is also situated in a brilliant area for sightseeing since everywhere is in walking distance (or 10 minutes on the tram for those less energetic days).
