Yoshi & Kyra were amazing hosts, they made us feel so welcome in their home. Their home is so cute and stylish, especially their shower, which is much cooler than ours at home. The room was so nice, everything was spotless and thoughtfully placed. The cats are nice and go inside and out at leisure. The breakfast every morning was so nice, I liked the granola and oat milk a lot. I really felt like I received the full Amsterdam experience staying with them.
I wish I stayed longer than three days, four or five would have been better. The Noord is a really cool place on it’s own, I wish I had a day there to visit the Italian place on the list of places to go to in the Noord and also a cool bar we biked by a couple nights, it always looked like a blast! The park nearby is super pretty. We stumbled upon a local street market a few days in a row, Friday and Saturday on the way to Central station, definitely a good place to find some good cheese, a bite and great priced, not so lame souvenirs to take home. Check. It. Out!
The bike ride to Central station is quite nice and refreshing, my boyfriend and I used the hosts bikes, which worked great for us; but if you are not a great city biker, I would recommend not biking into the center of the city to avoid any collisions with other bikers, the road is also shared with scooters and motorbikes which can be a tad overwhelming for a newbie. Instead just bike to centraal station (10 minutes) and park/ lock it up, taking the ferry (5 minutes) and walking around the city from there.
*5/5 would stay here again!
