As first timers to Amsterdam we were not sure where to stay, yet Fleur’s description of the area and the price of the apartment were perfect. We could not have picked a better place! The area is exactly what we were looking for - great nightlife and a lively neighborhood. Anything you could want is close by, and Fleur includes suggestions of her favorite places and how to get around to attractions not right near the Leidseplein area. It is in the heart of the neighborhood, yet we slept soundly with the fan in the room providing some white noise to drown out the city, but Fleur is also upfront to warn those looking for a peaceful area. We however did not mind and appreciated the liveliness of the street. Whenever we walked through different areas to check out attractions, we constantly were saying, “our area is better than this” or “thank God we stayed where we did.”
Fleur was also a helpful host both before and after check in. She helped us get into the apartment right after we landed even though it was early, and she was always quick to follow up if we needed anything throughout the stay. We never even met Fleur, yet her provided details and promptness to our remaining questions were perfect for us to access the apartment and feel at home.
