I highly recommend Lydia's place to people visiting Amsterdam. It is in a fantastic location on a very cute street right near Oosterpark. This is slightly out of the hustle and bustle of all of the tourist attractions but has excellent and quick transport connections to everywhere you want to go. Exactly the type of location you want as a traveller! Her place is gorgeous and modern. It is very homely and exceptionally clean. The big king bed was very comfortable. Beware that the stairs are very steep but this seems typical of Amsterdam. Lydia was away for the weekend but her sisters boyfriend waited up for our late check in and was very friendly. Lydia was quick to respond to messages and provides a very thorough information guide of lots of tips. We would definitely stay again, thank you Lydia!
