Why stay anywhere else?? Arens loft is perfect. A very cool home in the nicest part of Amsterdam.
We were 3 friends staying in Amsterdam for the weekend. Arens loft is very spacious - we each had our separate sleeping space, but we could easily have bought our partners and had 6 of us staying here. Clean bed linen and towels - perfect.
We didn't meet Aren (He was away) but we had had lots of emails and text messages with him during our planning - He is very easy to communicate with - and when we arrived, his friend Anne let us into the Loft and gave us all the information we needed. It was a very easy booking with lots of help and communication to make us confident and happy with our stay.
The location was excellent - in a lovely calm street. If you want to walk into the city center, its only 5 to 10 minutes to most of the tourist attractions, but just as nice was a short stroll to the end of the street to a number of cool and relaxed bars and restaurants.
I certainly want to go back to Amsterdam (there is plenty more to do than can be done in a weekend) and I will have no hesitation to ask Aren if I can stay in his place again. It was perfect - why go anywhere else?
