We had a great stay at Tessa and Romain's private room. The best feature of this clean, perfectly equipped room was of course the location. It's quite close to the Utrechtstraat, which has a number of excellent restaurants, cozy (gezellig) cafe-bars, and some nice retail. It was really our favorite little neighborhood. It's also an easy walk to the Van Gogh, Rijksmuseum, Stedlijk museum, Concergebouw, Vondelpark, Cuypmarkt, and other key sites of Amsterdam.

The room itself was immaculately clean, seemed to have been recently remodeled, and had everything we needed. We especially liked the private entrance. The double bed was comfy, there was a pod-style coffee machine, a water kettle for tea or oatmeal, cups/spoons/drinking glasses, sugar/teabags/coffee pods, some cookies. The bathroom was just right also with a nice large shower and a towel heater. Everything we needed for 5 days was there.

Tessa and Romain were extremely responsive throughout the entire booking and stay process, and provided a local map and suggestions. They are very charming. The apartment itself is quite quiet but you may want to be sure you have earplugs as you might get occasional street noise or noise from nearby partiers, but this is true of any urban apartment. All in all we would highly recommend and we would stay here again for sure when we come back if it is available!
