Bas's apartment is perfect in every way. All newly renovated with a very spacious living/ dining area & a lovely outlook to the canal & beautiful old houses on the island. The location is superb, only a few minutes to Haarlemaplein square which has a large supermarket, banking ATM, cafes & restaurants & an easy walk into the centre of Amsterdam. The bus & tram leave from the square in either direction to the Central station or Rijksmuseum/Van Gogh museum. We did not meet Bas but he was in touch throughout the week & his lovely wife explained everything. He left us public transport cards which we could top up & even organised a discount taxi for our trip to the airport. Loved everything about it & hope to be back!
