Our experience staying at this home was absolutely fantastic in every way! Even a five-star review really doesn't do it justice. The host, Serge, met us in person the afternoon we arrived. He was exceptionally generous in providing us with a detailed write-up about the house and the neighborhood; personal advice on great restaurants, sites, and activities for kids; many guidebooks and maps; staples, fruit, and snacks in the kitchen; and everything we needed to keep our kids entertained at home (toys, books, art supplies, etc.). The home itself is a beautifully renovated and updated version of a traditional Amsterdam canal house. It is spacious and light and clean, fully stocked with all conveniences and comforts, and accommodated our family of two kids, two parents, and two grandparents perfectly. The neighborhood is ideal -- within easy walking distance of Amsterdam's best museums, parks, and shopping areas, and very convenient to public transportation and a variety of grocery stores, restaurants, and shops. We would highly recommend this home to any family visiting Amsterdam. Many thanks to Serge and his family for making our stay so enjoyable and memorable!
