We were a group of six friends who stayed at the Farm Lodge when we went to Amsterdam for a couple of days to celebrate New Years Eve. It was a fantastic place to stay!
Rogier and Nicole were really nice and friendly. They were very flexible about the check-in time, which was great since we came straight from the airport. When we arrived Rogier greeted us and showed us the apartment. He had collected maps and brochures for us and he told us a bit about things to do in Amsterdam, so that was so helpful.
The apartment was friendly and charming. It's furnished in an old fashioned way, it was cosy. Especially the farmer's bed in the kitchen. The bathroom was modern and clean. The size was perfect for six people. It was room for us to eat breakfast together at the kitchen table and play boardgames in the living room.
The apartment is situated a bit outside the city centre, but this we knew before we booked the place. But it's easy to get to the centre. You can take a bus or an Uber.
Rogier recommended ut to go to a pancake place nearby the apartment, called Stroop. We went there the first day and the pancakes were great! They also served a really nice beer called Stroop as well. Would recommend a visit there.
The day we were going back home there was a storm so many planes got cancelled. Our hosts told us about this the night before so we would be aware. Then they told us that we cold stay another night in the apartment for free if our flight got cancelled, so that was incredibly nice of them! They also let us check out later since the place wasn't booked that day. Rogier and Nicole was truly helpful, flexible and friendly.
We would absolutely stay here again if we're going back. So we would recommend this place to everyone who wants to stay at a cosy place with fantastic hosts when visiting Amsterdam.
