This is a beautiful, spacious apartment in Central Amsterdam, within walking distance of the most important attractions. The owner, "Femmie", is a graceful hostess indeed, and the building belongs to her and her husband, who live on the first two floors. Femmie attends to the cleaning of the flat herself, hence you can expect the squeaky-clean environment of a classic Dutch home. There are only two flats for rent so no noisiness at all. Both Femmie and Michiel did everything possible to make our stay memorable, an authentically Dutch experience. We were welcomed in person, with all the ingredients for a nice, light meal waiting for us on the table and in the fridge, including two bottles of wine. There is so much to do close to the flat: Van Gogh Museum, Reich-museum, Anne Frank's house, Rembrandt's home, canal rides -- too much to mention here. Michiel (who has a delightful sense of humor) is quite knowledgeable about what to do, how to get there, and what to avoid as well. He is by far the best BnB host we've ever had -- thoughtful, detail-oriented, with a generous spirit. Not all BnB hosts are honest about their rentals, but Michiel is reliable and "as good as his word." The apartment is centrally heated and furnished with a Rainhead shower that allows both guests to have very nice back-to-back showers. The bed is AMAZING, a Tempurpedic-style memory foam mattress that cradles you in luxury under a fluffy, silky duvet. Do the research yourself, there is nothing quite like this home away from home in gorgeous Amsterdam. One more thing: since Holland can get humid, we were grateful for the central heating that keeps the flat and its contents nice and dry. Thank you, Michiel and Femmie! Sincerely, Karen Jones
