We had an absolutely wonderful experience with Ferdinand. His place is not too far of a walk to the Metro, was very clean, had everything we needed for our 11 days there, and was quiet at night. The neighborhood is residential so there isn’t really anything to do at night right by the apartment, but because it got dark very late we were able to sit on the bench on the canal outside the apartment which was very relaxing, especially after walking miles every day. Ferdinand was there when we arrived and explained everything from how things worked in the apartment to things to do around town. I left 3 days before my mother, who has yet to embrace any type of electronics. He came over and sat with her for almost an hour and a half, and even offered to bring her to the airport. I couldn’t not believe his kindness, thoughtfulness and generosity. He also sent me a text when he came back from the airport, letting me know that she was there safely. If I ever go back to Amsterdam, I would not hesitate to stay here again.
