We highly recommend staying with Genevieve. The house is situated within a quiet quaint little neighborhood rich in greenery and bordered by a beautiful park and canal. Logistically speaking, it's a perfect location - you get the peace & the quiet, but at the same it will take you no more than 30 minutes total (often less!) to reach Amsterdam Centraal from there. The house itself is charmingly Dutch (tall, big windows, narrow stairs, gorgeous patio), clean, comfortable & well equipped (as described and more!). Genevieve is incredibly welcoming and warm - we shared wonderful conversation. We also met her son Alex (an outstanding young man!), their adorable cats & we had some lovely neighbors whom we shared the house with at different times. All in all, it was all we could ask for - it felt like home.
