Annemarie's apartment is wonderfully furnished with all the practical comforts of home. Her place has the perfect amount of privacy for a family looking for two bedrooms and a seperate living room and kitchen area, but cozy enough to spend evenings looking out over a beautiful canal view over the well-appointed dining area. We enjoyed eating breakfast at home and being able to walk to the local grocery store a few blocks away, while having local area transportation at our fingertips. Of course there were days we just walk to Amsterdam local sites from her apartment on more ambitious days... the location is great! I can't say enough about Annemarie as a host--- she was amazing. In addition to meeting us promptly and providing a tour of the apartment complete with a vase of fresh flowers, a welcome bottle of wine, and a chocolate bunny marking Easter, she was responsive night and day and just downstairs to answer questions. She even ran a set up batteries up for the Wii controllers, and gave us a ride to the train station with our suitcases on the day we left! Annemarie made our first European trip an epic success--and thanks to our wonderful stay we will use airbnb again and may even have to go back to Amsterdam just to stay with her!
