Aart was a terrific host from beginning to end. I'm very glad to have stayed with him during my trip to Amsterdam. Aart, his family, and his home are lovely. Aart welcomed us with a bottle of wine, lots of information, and many recommendations. The home is exactly as advertised, and suited our needs perfectly. There may be travelers who would prefer more action, but this was perfect for me: a quiet, beautiful neighborhood to decompress after the craziness of the city. From this location you can easily (and quickly) access all of Amsterdam, but it's just removed enough to allow for relaxation. Wonderful experience. Thanks Aart!
