Linus welcomed us so kindly into his home and went above and beyond to make our stay the best it could be. We travel to eat and Linus was quite the foodie himself and all his recommendations were superb!
His home was located in a cool part of Amsterdam, in its own cozy neighborhood away from the touristy center but easy to get anywhere in Amsterdam. Less than an hour from the airport via train and tram (or bus) and walking distance to some great coffee shops and restaurants and directly above a street market selling fresh produce, cheese, fish, bread… all the freshest groceries you ever need.
Now about the place itself, it was the coolest home we’ve stayed in! So modern, clean and organized. we loved all the personal touches - fresh cut flower display, complete, beautifully organized and stocked kitchen including coffee and espresso machine, stocked fridge (he left us some juices and milk), automated lights, amazing tv and sound system. The place had a rooftop seating area, plus balconies next to the kitchen and in the living room.
Just a little warning, There were many steep stairs (3 levels in the home itself separating living space from bedrooms and bathroom and then for the rooftop area) and 2 levels of winding stairs up to the home itself, but we are from Florida and not used to stairs but we adjusted and it was totally worth it ( and I was traveling with 2.5 yo son and mother in law). We also were very careful on the inside as it is slippery with socks on.
Could not recommend this place any more. Hope to come back again one day!
