I came to Amsterdam as a guest of a film festival and had originally booked a different listing. Unfortunately, when I showed up, there was a mistake and I wasn't able to stay! Without an accommodation, I called the AirBnB customer service line and the representative helped me find a new place. Klaartje was my guardian angel that night- she was able to host me at literally the last minute because of the previous mix-up. She was very kind, welcoming, patient, and understanding. She gave me everything I needed and suggested many wonderful places for food and such. (I'm a big fan of Bird, now!)

The room was lovely and did just the trick. The bed is very big, nice, and warm, and the windows at the foot of the bed were great for letting in the sunshine in the mornings to help wake me up. There is a shower and sink right around the corner and a small room with lovely tea, coffee, and amenities. Also, Klaartje is a talented artist and her prints, paintings, and drawings adorn the walls.

The neighbourhood, De Pijp ("pipe"), is very cool and quiet. There are many great cafes and shops on the main street, and the house is very close to the tram which will take you to Amsterdam Central Station in under half an hour. It's a lovely ride through the city, too.

I would definitely recommend Klaartje and her lovely home if you're looking for a warm and comfortable place to stay in Amsterdam!
