I have stayed in more than 40 airbnb apartments during the past 15 months, and this is definitely one of my favourites. It is new and clean, very bright with lots of window and a lovely view over the canal, and absolutely perfectly quiet.

The kitchen and lounge/dining area is combined to make best use of the space. The kitchen is well equipped for serious cooking and there is plenty of wardrobe space.

The bed has a Tempur overmattress which makes it extremely comfortable regardless of your preference for a hard or soft mattress.

There is good free parking outside, the shops and tram station are within 10 minutes walk and you're in Amsterdam city centre in less than half an hour.

Frans is a very nice and responsive host, offering to pick me up and take me back to Schiphol, which is only a ten minutes drive away.

The pictures have been taken by the airbnb photographer who uses a super wide angle lense to make places look bigger, which is also the case here, but you get used to this after a while.

I can highly recommend this apartment and shall probably be back myself before long.
