This was the perfect base to explore Amsterdam and to venture a little further afield. Carolien was charming and totally relaxed about our late arrival. The apartment is warm, elegant, nicely decorated, very well supplied with all crockery, cutlery etc and we appreciated the fresh fruit, muesli and bottles of wine that awaited us. The only thing missing was fresh milk for our cups of tea and when we mentioned this to Carolien, she put some into the fridge in no time at all. She and Kim, whom we met briefly, made it clear that they were on-hand to provide any help or guidance that we might need and we felt very well looked after. The location of the apartment is excellent - an easy walk into the centre and a tram stop a few moments away to take us to the central station, the museums or any other part of the City. Overall, we were very satisfied with every aspect of our stay and would warmly recommend the Bellavista to any couple visiting Amsterdam. Our thanks to Carolien and Kim for making us so welcome.
