We stayed at Alco's for 8 days for our honeymoon, and it was perfect! We had Persecco and treats in the fridge when we arrived and everything was very clean (which I was a little worried about because of the cat, Sugar). You wouldn't even know a cat lived there when we arrived! We did vacuum before the end of the week just to pick up a little cat hair, but we could've made it the entire 8 days without and it would've been fine.

The neighborhood is awesome! Very convenient to the tram that goes all the way to Centraal Station with stops at all the places you want to visit (the Museumplein, Leidseplein, etc) and there is every type of store you would need very close by. The food was amazing everywhere we went (check out Helder down the street for dinner!). We even went to the Cuyp Market one day and bought everything we needed for a fresh home cooked meal, and the apartment had everything we needed to cook a great dinner! So convenient. The garden was very nice even though it was cold and rainy most days. There's not a lot of privacy, but you do realize how fortunate you are to have a garden like that. Most people only have a small balcony.

We felt very much at home during our stay and would definitely stay here again. Everything was exactly as we expected from the listing, and Alco is a very welcoming host.
