We stayed at Mike's for Christmas & New Year 2018/2019. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay! The apartment was lovely, it really felt like a home. Mike had put a Christmas tree up for us which we greatly appreciated. The location was brilliant - so close to everything we needed, easy walking distance to tourist destinations, located between the beautiful Amsterdam canals, close to supermarkets, cafes, bars, groovy shops - we really felt part of the local scene. Mike had left us some great local tips - eating places, good butcher, coffee, cheese shop - contributed to our lovely Amsterdam experience. We had a total of 7 of us staying in two Airbnbs. Mike's apartment is very spacious - the kitchen and dining facilities enabled us to have a special Christmas lunch in the apartment - fitting all 7 of us easily! The apartment was really comfortable, it had everything we needed, a great place to come home to at the end of a busy day. The outdoor rooftop was a real bonus - we were able to watch the New Years fireworks from the rooftop - it was a lovely outdoor space. Mike was an excellent host, easy to contact and very accommodating. We would recommend Mike's without hesitation!
