Our 7th trip to Amsterdam and by FAR our favourite.
Vasili, and his family have built a beautiful home which has so many different areas that are a joy to spend an hour or two enjoying the beautiful choices of design and furniture that go so far to give this house a home-away-from-home feel.
The view of the canal from the large windows at the front of the living room is a wonderful treat.
Kitchen is functional and enjoys almost all day sunlight.
Then the location!! A 3 minute, pleasant walk is Vondel Park, one of the most beautiful, sprawling and water focused parks in the world.
There are 20 restaurants within a 5 minute walk which serve fresh, thoughtful, locally sourced Dutch and global cuisines.
You can spend a whole day wandering and reading.
From the end of Vondel it’s a 20 minute meander into the center of town if that’s your thing.
And last, but not at all least, Billy the Cat. He provides easy maintenance requirements, and a whole lot more. He’s the best host and hopefully a new life long friend.
