Absolutely beautiful studio in a quiet and highly desirable neighborhood (right up alongside the Jordaan). Host Laurence is an aesthete through and through; it couldn't have been more lovely. We are also health nuts and on a bit of a restricted diet, and we were happy to find everything we needed to cook most of our meals during our week-long stay. In fact, we had everything required to be comfortable--comfy bed, good internet, great appliances, great shower, storage space, work surface, and again, very well situated. Oh, and tons of books/maps/magazines--in English and French-- of interest to the tourist in Amsterdam. Laurence also welcomed us and gave us a personal orientation to the space and to the neighborhood; generously answering all of our questions and relaying her tips for a great stay. Fantastic bnb!
