We didn't get to meet Jesse, but we met his mother Ylva, she allowed us to check in early which was very helpful. She gave us wonderful recommendations for things to do in Amsterdam. The apartment was spacious and clean and in a very nice neighborhood. We walked a lot, but it is close to public transportation. Would not recommend this place if you are a heavy packer for there are many steep steps to reach the apartment. Overall we loved staying at Jesse's apartment and thank them both for a great trip to Amsterdam!
