What a gem in the heart of Amsterdam! We woke up every morning to the smell of baking croissants, and yes, they're as delicious as they smell! The apartment itself is spacious and clean. I read other reviews that it was noisy into the night, so I planned accordingly and brought a travel sound machine that worked perfectly to drown out the bustling street noise. In my opinion, the noise should be expected for such a central location. Restaurants, bars, shopping, grocery, transit, etc. is ALL within walking distance. Rens was an outstanding host as well. He was extremely hospitable and responsive, and gave great local recommendations. We will definitely be staying here again for our next Amsterdam trip! Thanks Rens!
