Three friends and I spent a thoroughly enjoyable Bank Holiday weekend at Martine's apartment, which was a perfect fit for us: the kitchen was well-stocked, a toilet on each floor, clean rooms, serviceable wi-fi and lovely views with great light on each balcony.

The neighbourhood is beautifully green and quiet yet still convenient for all the major attractions as there's a tram stop only a couple minutes walk away with direct trams to Dam, Leidseplein and Jordaan amongst others. A large supermarket, which stocks pretty much anything you would need is also a stone's throw away.

Martine was a great host: promptly answered all our enquiries after we booked, accommodated our early check-in and told us the fastest ways to reach her place from Duivendrecht and Schipol, the latter being particularly convenient as there was a direct shuttle from the airport that took only 30 minute followed by a <5 minute walk.

We definitely recommend her place and would love to stay here again.
