Hidden gem of an Airbnb place.
Ad’s apartment is wonderfully furnished and decorated making it an ideal place to relax after a long day in the city. It’s a very clean and tidy apartment that has some really unique aspects such as the spiral staircase leading to the bedroom, retro styled dining room, and Ad even left some beers in the fridge for our arrival.
The location is in a residential area so is quiet in the evening but there are some nice local bars as well as restaurants. The apartment is located around a 45 minute walk from central Amsterdam, but there are great public transport links nearby. Personally I recommend you hire some bikes for your trip if you plan on going into the centre of the city, as Ad’s apartment is located close Vondelpark you can cycle through here on your way into the city and be there in around 10-15 minutes.
Ad also left us a folder which gave us a lot of information about Amsterdam such as local amenities and travel information. In terms of travelling from the airport, his apartment is very close to one of the bus stops on the ‘397 airport express bus’ so travel is very easy to and from. Ad was also very quick with his responses to any questions we had during our stay, which we appreciated as he was away from Amsterdam at the time.
The apartment is located on the 3rd floor of a tall building with very steep steps to the top, so assuming you’re happy with climbing a few stairs after a long day out then I absolutely recommend staying at Ad’s apartment.
