Bas is the perfect host! He was attentive, welcoming and hospitable both before and during our stay in Amsterdam. Prior to our trip, communication between Bas and I was always quick and helpful. He kindly allowed us to drop our suitcase off before check-in time as our flight arrived early in the day and likewise on departure day he held on to our case for us until we were ready to leave. The building to the apartment is modern and the neighbours were all friendly as they passed us from day to day. The apartment itself was large, quiet and ideally located right on the canal front. It was extremely clean and tidy and has many useful facilities from full cooking appliances, bathroom products to an iron and board. As many other reviewers have mentioned, the coffee machine is a treat! We especially liked how much light the curtains kept out in a morning so we could enjoy a lie in after spending hours wandering Amsterdam. The nicest touch was the bottle of wine and stroopwafel left by Bas as a gift. We loved our stay in Bas’ apartment and would definitely recommend to others for their stay in Amsterdam!
