Our stay at Renate’s place was a pleasure from start to finish. She communicated with us promptly and even gave us transit directions from Centraal to the apartment. It was conveniently located near Jordaan, close to cute restaurants and shops, but far away enough from the center that there wasn’t a lot of street noise or tourists. The apartment itself was clean, cute, and cozy. She provided two heaters as it was chilly during our stay and there were fresh flowers on the table which was a nice touch. The only drawback to the apartment was that it was on the 4th floor and there was no elevator. This was fine for us, but if you have mobility issues this is not the place for you. Overall, our stay was wonderful, Renate was very accommodating, and I would happily stay there on our next trip to Amsterdam.
