We were so comfortable staying in Dennie and Elske’s deluxe accommodations. At just one story above the hustle and bustle of the astonishing metropolis that is Amsterdam, this home away from home truly felt like a remote sanctuary. Every time we left our apartment, it was a surprise to see such an active downtown street right outside the door. The room is very private and there is a beautiful view OR some of the most effective blackout curtains we have ever experienced. Don’t count on the sun or city noise waking you up in the morning... we almost got too much rest!
Dennie happily met us earlier than we expected to arrive and generously shared with us his invaluable perspective of a city that was brand new to us. Our trip was enriched again and again by his and Elske’s thoughtful recommendations.
The amenities in the room are top notch... everything was so clean and worked exactly as it should. Every detail in the design was well thought out and impressive, down to the doorknobs and the latch on the windows.
There were moments on our trip when we found ourselves with more questions, Dennie and Elske always answered promptly and thoughtfully, thanks again!
Our home away from home was located so centrally such that we were always located within walking distance from our desired location. We do love to walk, though, and the weather was splendid, especially for November!
When it came time to depart, the courteous couple in question generously agreed to let us stay in the room until we had to leave for the airport, even though it was a bit later than their regular check out time. So kind!
Dennie and Elske’s upstairs nook was the perfect headquarters to fall in love with a new city. I am confident that when we return, we will check to see if their place is available first!
