Sara & Maarten's flat is an experience in itself. You hardly ever want to leave it!
Even though we didn't get a chance to meet them personally, the picking up and dropping off the keys went smooth and fast. They provides us with a lot of easy information about how to reach the Radijs restaurant that had their keys (it also has good food, mind you!). Moreover, they left us a welcome note that contained the wifi password and info on how to use the thermostat. They also recomended us a great little coffee place having in mind that we had come for the Amsterdam Coffee Festival and it was more than great!
The place was sparkling clean when we arrived there and it actually looks so much better than in the pictures!! I especially liked their bedroom photo collage and the big wooden dining table. The bed is sooo wonderful..I have no words except I slept like a baby!
The neighbourhood is also really nice with a lot of quaint little shops, cafés and restaurants. Centraal Station and Museumplein are extremely close (10' by tram) which makes it easier when you want to move around all day.
You can also find fresh fruit and vegetables to buy just in front of the building and there is an Albert Heijn supermarket 2' away.
We are very happy with the choice we made by staying there and highly recommend it! I wouldn't stay anywhere else when visiting Amsterdam!
