Alex's place was perfect for 1-2 travelers visiting Amsterdam. I really enjoyed using her space as a home base for all my activities in the city. De Pijp was the perfect neighborhood to walk around and discover a restaurant or coffee shop and relax after exploring central Amsterdam. I had the best time meeting locals at coffee shops, especially Scandinavian Embassy and talking to them about Amsterdam and getting advice on things to do and places to see. People were very friendly and the neighborhood was low-key and welcoming. Alex was helpful and easy to communicate with upon arrival after Google Maps sent me in the wrong direction and was accommodating whenever I had a question about the apartment. Check-in and check-out were simple enough– I did not get the chance to meet Alex, but the cleaning woman was there as I arrived to hand over the keys. Would recommend the space for anyone looking to visit Amsterdam.
