I was in Amsterdam for a business trip. Carolijn was easy to communicate with and accommodating of my early flight arrival time. The neighbourhood . Amstel is a safe and bustling; close to the river, with lots of options for grocery stores and restaurants and around the corner from the tram. Quite walkable into downtown also. The apartment itself is at street level so there is foot traffic by the windows but lots of privacy if you want to keep the curtains drawn. The apartment itself had all the amenities as needed. I bought some staples at the nearby grocery store (cooking oil, coffee, food etc) Also know prefer to cook on gas and know how to work a gas stove. The Wifi was decent for work and overall the place was a better option in terms of value than a hotel. Would recommend for the comfort and quality of the apartment (lots of space) the location (great area) the responsiveness and communication of the host. Highly recommend!
