Lars was the perfect host - always available when there was a question, never interfering the rest ofthe time. Nice touch with a bottle of prosecco to welcome us. Great recommendation for dinner at a local veggie restaurant.
The apartment is just perfect for an AMS weekend break. Beautiful to live in and perfetly placed for everything Amsterdam has to offer - restaurants, bars, museums, canals. The bedroom is great, with a wonderful desk to work at and a rooftop little terrace to breakfast on in the morning. There is only a microwave oven, but the hob was full size and we cooked ourself dinner one evening. Small tv with a good selection of DVDs available.
Lars loaned us his 'Friends of the Rijksmuseum' cards - saving us €40 and at least an hour if not 2 of queues. download the free app for a variety of Rijksmuseum tours - the crowds seem to disappear as you concentrate on what is being said through the earphones.
We were there over Kings Day weekend and the apartment is perfectly placed on the Keizergracht.
Nothing bad to say about the experience. Its not the cheapest place to stay in AMS, but hard to get better value.
We'd love to return next year.
