Our party of four enjoyed staying at Anouk and René's place in the up-and-coming neighbourhood Amsterdam Noord. It was interesting exploring a new area of Amsterdam other than the centre that we have not been to before around the arty NDSM wharf.
It was fun to take the quick ferry across to Centraal Station on sunny days to admire the view and the bus links around the city were good from the apartment. We liked the walk to the ferry terminal seeing the neighbourhood and architecture and enjoyed walking alongside the cycle paths.
Anouk recommended the nearby restaurant Pllek (vegetarian slanted), the bar Noorderlicht Café (good cocktails) and Brood bakery (breakfast) which we all enjoyed.
The apartment was clean and had everything you could want at your disposal (hairdryer, dishwasher, ice and ice pack in the fridge, tea, coffee machine, biscuits etc). The apartment also had a sunny outside space with table and chairs to enjoy and its own entrance so we did not disturb the hosts.
We all slept in the same open plan space which suited us. Bring your own ear plugs if one of your party snores!
We had a lovely visit and would highly booking the apartment for booking.
