This was as close to perfect as can be without staying in your own home. Clean, spacious, comfortable, nicely furnished, stocked with amenities, great neighborhood, nice neighbors, good location, everything was top notch. We were met by the host's friend who gave us the lay of the neighborhood and the city, showed us the apartment and was a resource if we needed (which we didn't because everything was perfect!). This would be a great place for 1 or 2 couples, 2 or 3 work colleagues, or a family with older children. I loved Amsterdam and want to return with my husband (this was a work trip) and wouldn't want to stay anywhere else. Karen was easy to contact and answered all my questions during the booking process. I can't think of anything that was lacking or could be improved on. A++++
