Simon was a wonderful Host who I can't recommended enough. Simon's spacious, bright flat is located in the hip De Pijp neighborhood, surrounded by lively cafes, the famous Albert Cuyp market, and cool restaurants like Bazaar and Barrique Wine Bar. Simon's flat has a beautiful canal view from the full windows in the main room. You can walk everywhere: At the end of the street is the Tram which will take you directly to Dam Square, Red Light District and the Palace in 15 minutes or less. The flat is also a beautiful 15 minute walk along the canal to the museum district, including the Van Gogh Museum and Rijks. I found it very thoughtful that Simon would send me an email to check in and make sure everything was running smoothly during our stay, but not over bearing at all. Absolutely no complaints, and I would stay again. The WiFi was great, and Simon even offered to let us enjoy any fruit he had available in the kitchen. He also got back to any emails or inquiries right away, within 24 hours if not less. Excellent communication! The bed was very comfortable and the bathroom was very, very clean and big (especially for Amsterdam!)

I highly recommended booking your Amsterdam AirBnB with Simon if you want a local experience in a hip and funky part of town, close enough to the city center if you want to experience the touristy side, but also far enough to experience the city like a local "Amsterdammer" Please know this is Simon's personal flat and his personal belongings are there (but kept away). We treated the flat as if it was our own, knowing he treated us more like friends than "hotel guests". Thank you, Simon - You are very appreciated and hope to stay again!
