WOW! Just, WOW! Oh my, I’ve fallen in love with this apartment. The pictures don’t do it justice and you have to stay here to understand how wonderful this apartment is. Right from the beginning my experience was amazing. I was bringing my puppy with me on this trip and even though the property was listed as ‘dog friendly’ I always like to write to the host and double-check. Sharine and Koen were attentive, responsive and very helpful from the initial message, all the way through my stay and afterward (I left some items behind – oops). They were more than happy for my puppy to stay, gave me recommendations about places to eat in the area and which ones were dog-friendly, and provided all the information I could want. They even had spare poop bags in case I had forgotten mine! This is what I call service! The Apartment Well, from the moment I stepped into the place, we loved it. High ceilings, spacious, tastefully decorated, it was like I was stepping into the pages of an interior design magazine. They left some drinks in the fridge for me and even left my puppy a welcome chew treat. He was over the moon with it and if he is happy, I’m happy. The kitchen space was lovely, the sofa was comfy, the double-glazing is amazing and you don’t hear the cars passing by on the road outside. The garden, while small, was perfect for a beer in the early evening and my dog loved having a space he could go to that was outside but securely fenced in. Even the neighbours were nice and said hello. The bedroom was small, but it’s only for sleeping so I’m fine with that. The bed was SOOOOOO comfy, I could have stayed in it all day. The Location SUCH a great location. There is no parking outside the apartment unless you have an electric/plug-in hybrid vehicle, but just around the corner there was ample parking and I was always able to find a space. Just down the road there is the Nu. 9 tram and it takes you straight into the heart of Amsterdam. You can even buy a pass on the tram so you don’t have to worry about locating a store to purchase one in. There is a big park nearby and within it is a special dog park that is fenced off so your dog can run around off the lead. It’s a big space and my puppy loved running around with the other dogs and everyone was very friendly and chatted to me while the dogs played together. He loved going here and we visited twice a day during our stay. On top of good transport links and a great park, there are also lots of lovely shops in the area from a wonderful bakers about a 5 min walk away, to a parade of shops selling everything from groceries to kebabs. Honestly, you couldn’t find a more...
