Madelinde & Peik weren't able to meet us at the time we arrived. So, they sent us a note about where to get the keys. Fine with us, and we had no problem finding the keys once we got to the apartment. Our only problem (I do mean this is OUR problem, not someone else!) was to remember the streets nearby so that we can find the apartment easily. Twice we lost and in both cases, the friendly local residences came to rescue and pointed us to the right direction. Love the neighbors!

The apartment was clean and bigger than expected. Though, there is no elevator, so you need to lug your suitcases up the stairs! A bottle of red wine along with another set of keys were on the table next to the wifi login info. A refrigerator stocked with eggs, ham, butter and milk. And some bread, of course. Great use of space for the kitchen for light cooking. Nice hot water for shower.

The location of the apartment was just perfect--near public transport (a few minutes bus ride to/from the Amsterdam Central station) and Jordaan (within walking distant). We enjoyed the feeling of living amongst the friendly locals! So, if you are happy walkers (or better still, bike riders), we highly recommend Madelinde & Peik's apartment.
