The listing was exactly what my friend & I were looking for. It was a bit away from the more touristy areas, but as it was right next to Rembrandtpark, it was the perfect place to go for a run. It was about a 10 min walk to more "social" places which was great to get food or drinks in the evening. Charles was a fantastic host and very responsive to all our questions; he even arranged for a friend to get us the key so we could check-in early. The apartment itself was an oasis and much bigger than expected. The best part of the apartment was the back "garden" that included a sofa, a perfect place to read and drink wine and enjoy the great weather. I would highly recommend this listing for others and I would use the place again if I come back to Amsterdam soon.

P.S. Borus was a fantastic housemate. He is incredibly friendly and often came and snuggled with me on the couch.
