Pepijn's apartment is amazing. I travel to Amsterdam frequently and have never stayed in this neighborhood. It was great. It is like a little Brooklyn!! Although I didn't get the pleasure of meeting Pepijn personally, as he was out of town, he was easy to be in contact with if we needed anything, but we didn't because this place has it all. Te apartment is very clean and on a very quiet street that is close to public transportation. Although, I do hope that you decide to rent a bike when you are there, which you can do at the end of the street next to the grocery store. It is close to the IJ brewery, which is one of my favorite places to go on a nice sunny day and sit on their terrace. I would totally recommend this to any one coming to Amsterdam on holiday or business!! Cheers!!
