Cecile was the kindest host we could have imagined! The apartment was spacious for our group of 5, and she was well accommodating the towels and blankets. The apartment is in a very nice area south of the Amstel River with restaurants no more than a 15 minute walk. The neighbors are incredibly helpful as well with food/entertainment suggestions. Washer and dryer in unit (though the dryer is not very powerful) and a large tv to watch movies! Cecile also went grocery shopping for us and got plenty of breakfast ingredients for us to cook in the apartment!
