Bernadette was a great host! Communication was excellent and helpful. Her house is spacious, colorful and comfortable. My budding artist daughter remarked that this is the kind of house she would like to have. We loved the steam room and the garden! The house is in a calm, safe and diverse neighborhood and is a short walking distance to the metro that takes you downtown. There is a well-stocked grocery store by the metro stop. We loved the little town of Weesp nearby! The house was a good base from which we explored not only Amsterdam but also Haarlem, the Hague, Delft, Waterland and Arnhem. We loved our stay.
