Location, location, location... great! We stayed in Cornelies' apartment for our first 3 nights in Amsterdam in early June. We wish we had stayed there the full week. Her apartment was very comfortable with all the amenities that you will need. It is close to the Van Gogh Museum, the Rijks Museum, Albert Cuyp Market, a public swimming pool, Vondel Park, grocery store, restaurants, tram stops.....really an ideal location. You can sit out on the back balcony & enjoy the garden, birds, rooftops, stars and peace & quiet. Stairs up to the apartment are steep, but manageable.(I have a hip replacement & was able to make the climb carefully). My husband & I enjoyed our stay very much. We felt safe & secure. Ask Cornelie for local maps as well as directions to access her computer. She left some very helpful notes in the apartment for us to read and refer to. Cornelie was very accommodating and her niece, also named Cornelie was a great help. A good find. Thank you
