Kamiel is a fantastic host! Though we didn't get to meet him during our stay, he kindly arranged for his friend to meet us at the apartment. Everything went great; the apartment is in a perfect location and has all of the comforts and amenities of a bed and breakfast or hotel.

It's close to the center, but far enough away that you can get a peaceful sleep. Just board the 13 towards Centraal and you're in the heart of the city in a matter of minutes. If you'd rather walk or bike, that works too! We rented bikes down the street at Green Budget Bikes and had a great time.

There was a lot of space, so this is ideal for a medium sized group. I would recommend it for anyone who is looking to get the best of both aspects of Amsterdam--both lively and peaceful.

Kamiel and his apartment were fantastic, and we look forward to returning to Amsterdam very soon!
