Bastiaan’s place is very conveniently located, right in the center of downtown Amsterdam, within easy walking (and of course cycling) distance to many of the city’s sites. There is also a great supermarket and wine store right across the street, which we found extremely useful! The apartment itself is very nice, clean and comfortable - but it’s definitely someone’s “home”, with all of their possessions very much still in it. This wouldn’t be an issue other than we had to stay for 2 weeks so there was limited space to hang our clothes for such a longtime. For a shorter break, this probably wouldn’t matter. The pictures also make the place seem bigger than it actually is. And we were a little disappointed to find that there was no piano (as pictured) and that there was only one toilet (we misunderstood the description of 1.5 bathrooms). But the outside terrace is fantastic to have, and the house otherwise had everything we needed for a great trop. Robert is also absolutely fantastic, and extremely communicative throughout the process. He was even so kind as to accept a last minute change to our dates which we really appreciated. All in all, we had a great stay.
