We could not have found a better place for our family (parents and 2 adult kids) to celebrate Christmas in Amsterdam. Siem's place is extraordinary in many ways: it is spacious, very tastefully furnished yet very comfortable and warm and well equipped. It combines a traditional Amsterdam townhouse with a modern ambiente, antique with modern furniture. The wifi worked flawlessly and was easy to access. I forgot to ask Siem about his cleaner ;-) - the place was sparkling clean. Siem was extremely responsive and helpful and friendly before and during our stay, giving us helpful suggestions regarding restaurants (Siem even booked our Christmas dinner for us!) and supplying us with all the necessary information about the surrounding area. To make it perfect Siem had two small Christmas trees in the living and dining area to make the apartment "Christmassy" for us. We would love to return in the summer to make use of the amazing and spacious roof terrace. 5 star deluxe from us! One thing: Be aware of steep stairs! :-)
