Jet and Roel's pad felt like home away from home for us (we're from San Francisco); the perfect balance of local flavor while still acting like a tourist in Amsterdam. We were perfectly relaxed as soon as we walked in the door after 7 hours walking in the rain and crazy cold winds in March. Great decor, killer shower set up - even the new baby nursery was tastefully set up. The kitchen/balcony was a huge game-changing combo and we loved having the same entertainment set up as we do back in SF with the same Sonos and plugging in our storage drive that we brought along into the V for shows and movies.

As for the area surrounding, we were right new a great local neighborhood for local shopping and food - far enough away from the tourist crowds and right near public transit. With the rain and wind, we weren't able to use their bikes like we'd hoped, but had no trouble getting around quickly.

Jet also made great recommendations for restaurants and farmers markets to visit during our stay - above and beyond, they were excellent hosts! We'd love to come back again!
