This is a beautiful private flat in the very charming neighbourhood De Pijp. It's fantastically close to everything you'd want to experience as city travelers but without being in the heart of the tourist-y traps that litter the city proper. You will feel taken care of during every step as Arien is a thoughtful and considerate host happy to show you where all the best places are or let you have your own privacy as you choose.
Everything you could want for a short stay is provided from coffee, snacks and drinks to a wonderful shower (seriously, it's great) and a lovely outdoor sitting area for taking in the city sounds. Tall ceilings and windows along with the art and decor give the place a feeling of class without pretense. You can easily pop in and out to the city or right onto public transport and into an adventure. Or come back and rest your feet whilst enjoying some goodies from the nearby Albert Cuypmarkt which is always bustling with activity during the day.
I will always have a place in my heart for this spot and have had a perfect stay each time we visit. This is a special locale for sure and I can't imagine staying somewhere else in Amsterdam without at least considering how it compares to here - you'll have to experience it yourself to see. For a romantic getaway to the city this is as good as anywhere in the world.
