Dave and Astrid offer a beautiful home that is charmingly decorated and very inviting. The kitchen is very large and well equipped with an espresso maker we used every day. The bedrooms are comfortable with excellent mattresses. There's a rainfall shower and separate bathtub in the basement level in a very well-appointed bathroom complete with laundry. The garden in the back is a beautiful retreat. If you're lucky, Guus the cat will be home to keep you company. As is the case in most Amsterdam homes, the staircase is very steep and would be hard to navigate if you have mobility or balance concerns. The neighborhood is vibrant but not too busy. Everything in the city, including the airport, is accessible by train, tram, or bike. There are grocery, hardware, and restaurants within easy walking distance. Dave is very quick to respond and his household instructions are complete and easy to follow. Communication in English was no problem. We had a wonderful visit and would stay here in again in a heartbeat!
