You've see the pictures. You've read the previous reviews. This place is exactly as described. The apartment might not be for everyone, but if you look at the pictures and think to yourself - "damn, that looks awesome!", well then this place will exceed expectations.
Beginning with communications, Tjakko was exceptional in every way - personal touches abounded (stocked refrigerator, fresh flowers, bathroom essentials/travelers kit).
The apartment itself is straight out of a travel magazine. Cool artsy decor complimented the open space (be aware that you will need to be VERY comfortable with your guest while staying here, but that should be obvious when looking at the pictures).
The location is LITERALLY in the heart of the 9 streets - the picturesque canal-district area featuring vintage & designer boutiques, plus cozy cafes. We loved walking out the door and being right in the middle of the best neighborhood.
To be honest, on some of the grey days that were typical of December in Amsterdam, we found it perfectly fine to just hang out in the apartment. Next time we return to Amsterdam, we will being staying here again.
