We are a family from Canada and we had a wonderful stay in Amsterdam, thanks to Manon's fantastic AirBnB accommodations. We arrived with 2 young boys plus grandma and grandpa in tow, and our reception was very warm and welcoming!
There were lots of toys for the kids and even a bunk bed with a slide that our four-year-old loved the "idea" of (but actually slept with mom and dad most of the time). The house was exactly as described and pictured, and they kindly left of us some food basics and treats to get us started. The grocery store is a short walk away (or they have bicycles available.)
During our stay, we were particularly interested in experiencing the Dutch Liberation Day festivities (May 5) and Manon helped us with several suggestions and advice about how to get there. (Manon, we really enjoyed our time visiting the children's festival in Vondelpark, and the Freedom Meal at museumplein).
The house is a bit further out from central Amsterdam, but we did not mind the short ferry ride followed by the 10 minute bus ride from Amsterdam Central station. In fact it gave us a chance to experience "real Amsterdam" outside of the touristy city-center. The only thing I should mention is that bus times on the weekends have limited hours, particularly on Sundays. In our case, we had to get to the airport by 9am, but the bus on Sunday doesn't run until about 10am. So we had to arrange a taxi van to pick up our family (which was probably a better thing to do anyways - cost about 60 euros).
So, thank you Manon and family! We hope to stay with you again sometime! Come visit us in Canada!
