Prior to travelling Laura was very helpful with any questions we had regarding our stay, what to bring, buses to catch etc and offered a shuttle service from the central station.
On our arrival in the very picturesque surroundings we were met by Arjan, owner and husband of Laura who was very friendly helpful and approachable. He immediately made us feel welcome whilst completing some short and simple admin in his own lovely home. It was our first time in Amsterdam and he was very helpful when we bombarded him with the usual tourist like questions, how to get around, best places to see, best things to do. He then showed us to the accommodation which is the basement of their house and it was absolutely perfect. Good size throughout, nice big wet room, traditional decor , clean and a complimentary bottle of wine to boot! Having been provided with a key we were able to come and go as we please.
Lovely continental breakfast delivered to the door in the morning to set you up for the day. Arjan also offered us a complimentary boat trip around the canals of Amsterdam which again in keeping with every thing else was just perfect, which we had arranged on our second day.
We had a wonderful time in Amsterdam and our only regret is that we couldn't stay longer. We will definitely return to stay with Arjan and Laura and will also recommend it to the rest of our friends and family. We couldn't have asked for a better experience. Their friendliness and hospitality were second to none and come highly recommended.
