Daan is a wonderful host and his apartment is first class! I recently brought my 80 year old mother to Amsterdam for a birthday surprise and didn't want an older building with lots of stairs. Daan's apartment is large, modern (with an elevator) and it is tastefully designed to the highest standards with his personal touch. The kitchen and dining area are excellent and there are laundry facilities. The location is great, on the north east of the canal ring, and the bus and tram pass right by the development so nowhere you'll want to visit is more than 10 minutes away. It's very easy to get there from the airport by train and a short bus ride. Daan welcomed us with a nice bottle of wine on arrival and he had lots of useful advice and information to share. The apartment is in a quiet, green development with no cars allowed and there is a nice selection of local shops and restaurants nearby if you don't want to go back into the centre to dine after a long day's sightseeing. I'd highly recommend both Daan and his fabulous apartment!
