Firstly, a general impression after staying at Mike's place: Great place to stay in Amsterdam. I definitely recommend this place, we will be looking to stay here again if we come back to Amsterdam. We literally felt like being in our own home.
Location: The location of the apartment is great, even though it is not in the very center of the city. It is easy to reach from the airport (it took us 20 minutes), and the city center can be easily reached by several public transports. If you feel like walking to the city center, that is also possible and highly recommended, all the neighborhoods you walk through to get to the center are interesting, safe and definitely worth seeing. You can see something interesting on every corner. Mike even suggested which route to take (and interesting places in the neighborhood, including a map and notes from him), which was great, so we could see what the locals enjoy.
You have two super markets just across the street, where you can get anything you might need. Very useful for getting yourself nice food for breakfast :) Even though there was also already some food in the fridge which Mike said we could use as well which was super nice :)
Cleanliness: The apartment is super clean and very bright and comfortable. You have towels as well as all possible cleaning products at your disposal, for washing your hair, body, teeth as well as dishes and clothes.
Comfort: The bed is probably one of the most comfortable beds I have ever slept in. When it is a challenge to get out of bed in the morning when you are on vacation in Amsterdam, I think that speaks for itself :) it definitely helps you recharge after a long day of exploring the city so you can start all over again the next day.
I loved the two little balconies that the apartment has, even though we couldn't use them very much, because of not so perfect weather. But especially the one from the bedroom and kitchen is just perfect for chilling in the evening or having a nice outdoor breakfast.
I can't say enough good words about this place, I really enjoyed our stay and Mike is just a terrific host, ready to help and give advice at any time. He was easy to reach and super friendly.
Definitely stay here when you get the chance.
