My family of four visited Amsterdam for a week and very much enjoyed our stay at Saskia’s house. We would absolutely want to stay again if we were in town.
We enjoyed being close to the city center but still in a quiet residential part of town. The area was perfect for our two young kids - lots of green areas with flowers and family friendly places to eat nearby. There were multiple tram stops in a few block walking distance which made it quick to get anywhere. Plus a walk into the city center was only 20-30 minutes.
The house was spacious. There is one large downstairs room with the kitchen area, dining area and living rooms. This made it easy to keep track of the kids. Upstairs had the three bedrooms we used as well as a nice bathroom. There are some pretty steep stairs to go upstairs but we all managed.
Saskia made our family feel welcomed and went above and beyond with things like a big collection of stuffed animals for our daughter. They also had things like coffee for the espresso machine, cookies for our kids, good quality appliances, and all the basic toiletries/towels/bathroom supplies.
