Yahav and Deirdre were great hosts. From the guidebook they'd personally prepared offering their favorite recommendations of cafés, restaurants, clubs, museums and sightseeing destinations to the transport card that saves you money on buses and trams, they had everything covered for new visitors to Amsterdam like me. Yahav made me feel right at home the moment I walked through the door (six hours later than planned, since I'd missed my flight), offered me something drink, sat me down on the living room couch, and gave me an overview of the city. Any questions I had, they answered. The room was cozy - just the right size if you're traveling without much luggage - and the bed very comfortable; I slept like a baby! They also provided a courtesy basket of toiletries, which was also a nice gesture. The apartment was clean, orderly, attractive, and very conveniently located in a safe neighborhood. I would definitely stay here again.
