Karlijn was a great host! From the beginning she kept in great touch and was really flexible when our arrival time kept changing due to flight difficulties. We would have been a group of 3 but one of our friends ended up unable to join at the last minute, and the apartment definitely would have comfortably accommodated all 3 of us. For just two people, it was super spacious! She left us a case of stroopwafels and a bottle of welcome wine which was so kind of her, and the house was immaculate when we arrived. It was clear that she had done a lot of preparation. There were also instructions about how to use everything in the house. She has a great little terrace overlooking a cute garden, and the neighborhood was very calm and relaxed - lots of families in the park nearby. We felt very safe. The location was only slightly further out than we might have preferred, but we should have used the tram more because it is a really efficient way of getting around. All in all, Karlijn was a fantastic host and I would 100 percent stay here again and recommend it to anyone who's heading to Amsterdam and wants a comfortable place to "hang your hat."
