I would like to wholeheartedly recommend Ellie and Bertram's place. To start with, the apartment is located in one of the most beautiful and central areas of Amsterdam, steps away from a never-ending line of cute cafés, restaurant and shops in the Canal Belt. Secondly, the apartment view is lovely: you can see schoolchildren being ridden to school by parents in their bikes across the park and there is even a canal metres from the building doorstep. Thirdly, Ellie and Bertram are the loveliest, kindest and most generous landlords I have ever met in my Airbnb travels around the world. They made sure that everything was ready to welcome me and make my stay as cosy as it gets. They received me with fresh flowers and tasty Sinterklaas sweets, and they even invited me for tea and biscuits one night to have a chat and meet their son Matthieu. I can't seriously recommend them enough! They are a salt-of-the-earth family and their Airbnb apartment is superb!
