I highly recommend Laila's apartment for a real Amsterdam experience.

We really enjoyed a 3-night stay, the place is exactly as shown (except now with a lovely new sofa) and has everything you need. It's also wonderfully stylish and clean.

I'd consider it very good value as it equals a bog standard chain hotel price in Amsterdam, and with Laila's place you're getting a fully equipped kitchen, cute patio garden and tons more space.

The location for us was great; a pleasant 30 minute stroll along the river into the main centre or a quick tram ride, far enough away from the noise, but still central. There's also some nice eateries very close by and even a couple of coffeeshops. Perfect!

We didn't get to meet Laila but her communication was great and her personality seems to shine through in her beautiful home. Thanks for everything!
