My friend and I stayed at Laura & Emiel’s for about a week, and we couldn’t have been happier. They are wonderful, responsive, and attentive hosts. We were especially touched to enter the room after our long flight and find espresso pods and stroopwafels waiting for us! The check in process was easy and clearly explained. The place is about a 25 minute walk to the city center, which we enjoyed. If you don’t like walking as much, there’s a tram stop three minutes away that is very easy to use. The room was quite cold at the start of our stay but we simply asked Laura and Emiel about it and they had the heat turned up for us (you don’t control the room temperature directly; it’s centrally controlled for their whole place.) At the end of our stay we got to sit down to coffee with Laura and their adorable daughter Aimee, which was absolutely lovely! We could not have felt more welcome and now know we have some lovely friends and a cozy place to come back to when we are next in Amsterdam!
