Dorien has been the most helpful, friendly and thoughtful host. If we had any questions she was always available to answer them via text, WhatsApp or email. She provided excellent directions to the apartment and even advised us on what travel cards would be best to buy for our trip. She came to the apartment in person to meet us for check-in and check-out.

The apartment itself is exactly as shown in the photos, really clean and tidy and light and bright. It’s also in a great location. We used the metro (which is literally just around the corner) to travel into central Amsterdam, and this only takes a few minutes (sooo easy). There is also a really great supermarket just around the corner by the metro, which sells anything you could possibly need during your stay. All the appliances and equipment in the apartment are top of the range, with remote controlled tv’s, blinds and lights. The kitchen also has everything you need if you wish to eat in during your stay. The space in the apartment was perfect for us, we were three people travelling and so had the sofa bed out in the lounge, meaning the space is not very big but enough for us. There is also a balcony with seating outside the bedroom and a roof terrace (you need to climb up a pull-down ladder) which we used when the sun was shining. Perfect for sitting out and having a drink in the evening if it’s warm enough. The apartment also has a beautiful clean bathroom and separate toilet.

I have nothing negative to say about either the apartment or Dorien. However, the apartment is on the top floor so if you find climbing stairs a struggle then this apartment is probably not for you. Otherwise I would advise anyone travelling as a couple or small group to choose Dorien’s apartment.
