It's rare that photos don't do a listing any justice and this is what we found with Laurens charming apartment in De Pijp. So spacious for the two of us, it had everything we needed. The balcony gave us a nice neighbourly feeling as it opens up into a square facing other neighbours. Kind of felt like we made friends from across the way as we regularly saw our usual neighbours doing the same thing during the day.
Communication with Laurens was great, he gave us a whole tour of his place and how to operate things we didn't think we were going to use, but ended up using! Laundry was clutch, so nice to do a couple small loads since our stay was a bit longer (10 days). We really enjoyed his little housewarming gift of snacks and champagne! He has a curated guide that we used to explore the neighbourhood and every single one of the places he recommended that we visited was GREAT. We had the best brunch at Little Collins which is about a 5 minute walk away.
10/10 experience, will definitely stay again if we ever find ourselves wanderlusting for Amsterdam, which is almost a certainty.
