I would highly recommend Arien's apartment. We had 23 nights there and loved it. The apartment is light and spacious and tastefully decorated. The big wooden deck balcony is a huge plus and it looks onto the lovely greenery of some gardens. The location of de Pijp is so convenient and it was lovely to have shops and restaurants nearby. Also the Albert Cyp market 2 blocks away is awesome. It is a short ride or tram into the city centre. Arien was friendly and helpful and very quick to respond to correspondance . She is a great host!! Philippa Black
