Our host Har is a true gentleman.
He greeted us with a smile and assisted us with our bags up the traditionally steep Dutch staircase that leads to his first floor apartment.
Our room was spacious with plenty of light and a views on to the busy streets below, no need for a telly just pulled up a chair and watch the world go bye. Har welcome was made even more special by the complimentary bottle of red wine he supplied us with on the first evening.( our mattress was a particular highlight of our stay!!) . Har also unexpectedly gave us his museum passes which saved us considerably on museum entry.
With its location adjacent to Vondel park and not more than 20 minutes walk from the city centre it is put in a perfect spot to see the tourist attractions of Amsterdam, but there are some hidden gems just across the street in local area ,several boutique stores and an amazing pub, "The Golden brown bar "with authentic Thai cuisine and two cheerful Barman .
All in all our first visit to Amsterdam was made pleasant and welcoming by our house to Har .
Thanks again for an amazing stay!
