Wow! Siep's home is just wonderful! It is centrally located and within walking distance of most every place you may want to visit. It is also near a variety of trams for those who would prefer not to walk. The apt. is beautifully decorated with sprinklings of photographs and rare posters. And it was immaculate. The bed is very comfy, the kitchen, well stocked and the living room casual, inviting and relaxing. The view from the living room of Singel canal is captivating. And the apt. has a washer/dryer which makes packing so much easier and an elevator. It also has a delightful outdoor deck which is perfect for morning coffee and evening drinks. As for Siep, you will not find a more congenial host. Communication with him was a breeze and he assisted us with a forgotten item. We have travelled extensively and Siep wins #1 host in our book and his apartment follows suit. Don't miss an opportunity to stay here. Amsterdam is terrific and Siep and his home made it even more so.
