What an amazing place to stay! Upon arrival we were a bit surprised by the four flights of the spiral staircase required to get to the flat. However, it was well worth the climb! The apartment was immaculately clean and well stocked. The rooftop deck was fabulous place to hang out and relax.
Jasper, Ellen, and Yara were out of town, but Mary was an amazing host. She let us check in early and greeted us upon arrival. The refrigerator was stocked with beer - a nice surprise. Mary also had potato chips and waffle cookies waiting for us. Mary was extremely helpful and checked in with us every day and answered all of our questions. She even let us in when we locked ourselves out of the apartment. She, Jasper, and Ellen tried diligently to acquire a fan for us as we were there during an extreme heatwave. Even though they were on holiday, Jasper and Ellen contacted us to express their concern about the heat and how we were dealing with it. Incredible hosts - all of them!
Jasper and Ellen had many maps and helpful hints laminated for us on the kitchen table. It was a treat to have Yara’s drawings left for us as well. Bus stops were just two minutes from the apartment and very easy to navigate.
Highlights of our stay were canal boat cruises, the Anne Frank House, and the Artis Zoo.
This was one of the best Air BnBs we’ve stayed at and we’d definitely come back if we are ever in Amsterdam again!
