This was my first trip to Amsterdam and my first stay at an AirBnB. I wasn’t sure what to expect but it ended up being one of the best experiences. What helped make it so great was Yvette’s place. At the end of the long day, it was so nice to come to the apartment and truly relax and feel comfortable. Yvette and Gerard made us feel welcomed from the very beginning. She was understanding and flexible when my flight arrived early, which helped ease our stress from traveling. When we got to her place, she put out fresh flowers in the room, which made it feel inviting and cozy. The whole space was very commodious; we felt right at home from the start.
I really enjoyed being able to wake up and sip a cappuccino with the great view before we went out for the day. I liked having a little kitchen space in the apartment, it was nice to be able to bring leftovers home and not waste food when we went out to eat.
The apartment is also in one of the best neighborhoods of Amsterdam; Jordaan. It was convenient for everything, from public transportation, boutiques, art galleries, markets, bars, restaurants, etc. Yvette also had a list of delicious restaurants to check out and her list was spot on. The handful of places we ate at that she suggested was absolutely mouth watering.
Yvette and her husband are both such wonderful and kind people and such accommodating hosts, I genuinely can’t recommend their place enough! If this is your first time coming to Amsterdam, you won’t regret staying here.
