Well, what can I say? This was our first visit to Amsterdam and we couldn't have chosen a better place to stay. We met with Kim on arrival and he showed us to the apartment, pointing out the city maps and information guide which gave us info on the building's history, places to eat, features of the apartment, etc. Kim and Carolien have made the space feel so welcoming - it is comfortable, spacious and every aspect of it has been carefully thought out to give guests as enjoyable and relaxing a time as possible, including some really lovely touches such as two bottles of wine, a bowl of fruit, a huge variety of teabags, a fridge stocked with both soft and alcoholic drinks and not forgetting the bowl of mini chocolate bars.
The location of the apartment is within walking distance of everywhere - it's about 15-20 minutes to Anne Frank's house (a lovely walk along the canal side) and a little further to the central area. If you don't feel like walking the nearest tram stop is just around the corner. A bus runs straight to/from the airport and stops 5-10 minutes away from the apartment - it really couldn't be much more convenient.
The bed is very comfortable, the TV has English channels (this was important to us after a long day of walking and sightseeing!), there was plenty of hot water in the lovely wet room and we were able to adjust the heating in the apartment according to our needs.
All in all we had a fantastic stay and we wouldn't hesitate to recommend the apartment to others...if we decide to return to Amsterdam we wouldn't stay anywhere else, thank you Kim and Carolien :)
