We loved our stay! Simone was so helpful in communicating with us and making us feel welcome and comfortable. The apartment is cozy and private, clean and quiet. Simone provided so much local information and was always available to answer our questions. The public transportation to Amsterdam central and the surrounding areas was super easy, fast, and inexpensive. We hardly took taxis. Supermarket and stores are a short walking distance from the apartment. Simone (and Ella) made our trip to Amsterdam so great! 5 stars all around!
