This is a conveniently situated house in a quiet and beautiful area of Amsterdam. Saskia and her husband are wonderful hosts and helped us out enormously. It was rather cold upon arrival but they put the heating on for us and brought us provisions and offered advice on transport, eating out etc. The main downside for us was that only the upper floor (4 bedrooms and gorgeous modern bathroom) were made available to us as the family were staying downstairs. This was therefore quite cramped for a party of 4 individuals and although breakfast was provided as compensation, the same price was charged as for the whole house. This meant we couldnt cook for ourselves. There was a small table to eat at but insufficient chairs to sit at it comfortably and no where other than a large bed in one room for "lounging" on. Nevertheless, we had a great time and really enjoyed meeting this lovely couple: they definately went the extra mile in providing for our "high maintenance" party (getting in gluten free provisions for breakfast, providing ice for an injured ankle and ordering a taxi when walking became difficult!).
