My wife and I had a great stay in Amsterdam, and much of this had to do with Michel (and his niece Marlot) and his apartment. We lugged our suitcases from the Amsterdam Central station and found ourselves in front of the building without incidents by following the very clear instructions of how to get to the apartment given to us. Regretfully we didn't get to meet Michel in person as he was out of town during our stay, but we were equally delighted in meeting Marlot who helped us with our suitcases and gave us a nice little tour of the apartment and some info about the neighbourhood and the city. The apartment is well equipped and was stocked with more than enough food for our stay. The location of the apartment is also excellent; it's never far from some shops, supermarkets and restaurants / bars and is literally minutes from the Anne Frank House. The neighbourhood is, in general, quiet, but at night silence might occasionally be interrupted owing to that there are a couple of drinking establishments nearby. Would love to stay in this apartment again if we have the opportunity to visit Amsterdam!
