Location
The location is wonderful and safe. Within a 4 block circle, you are surrounded by grocery stores, amazing restaurants, bars, cafes, barbers, salons, and anything else you could need. I love the accessibility to everything and you don’t have to worry about going miles to get to places. You won’t need a car because of how close the trains are. The 14 tram is about 3 min away and takes you right into Amsterdam in like 20 minutes. You don’t need to change trains. The other trains and Sprinter are about 7-10 min walk away and give you access to other places you need to go. It was so easy.
Apartment
The apartment was wonderful. The pictures don’t do it justice. The decorations are simple but yet amazing. It had a very homey feel to it that made it feel like you lived there. There were a lot of plants around that also gave it a great feel. They had everything you needed in the kitchen and more honestly. You can cook full meals in their kitchen which I appreciated as I was there for 2 weeks. Erik made the counter in the kitchen, the bookcase, and the dining room table. Very well-made items. The bed was comfortable especially with the fan on. I enjoyed having the 1.5 bathrooms so you didn’t have to go upstairs each time to go to the bathroom. They have a washer which was important so you don’t have to carry your laundry out, and even if you did there was a place right around the corner.
Owners
Sevi and Erik were excellent. They responded very quickly to anything that I needed. If it was a question about how to use an appliance they would send me a picture with directions. So utterly helpful, it was appreciated.
If I was coming to Amsterdam again I would definitely stay at their place. The location was great. If I were you, I would book immediately.
