My husband and I just spent the weekend at Francesca's lovely apartment at the weekend. Francesca was easy to contact and gave us easy instructions about collecting keys etc prior to arrival. She also kindly gave us suggestions of places to visit.
We tried "mossel en gin" in westerpark for dinner and the food and drink were amazing. Would definitely recommend! Westerpark is off the tourist track but has some nice bars too.
I also have to reiterate that winkel 43 definitely has the best apple pie which is complemented very well with a glass of mint tea!
The flat itself is in a great location- a safe, quiet neighbourhood. We rented bikes as we had just 2 days to explore so this made getting around easier. But even walking to dam square would probably take only 2mins or so.
All in all...fantastic stay! Thanks Francesca :-)
