Stayed in Thijs appartment for a weekend and enjoyed the stay very much. Apartment (and Thijs' cat) are both great and we had a warm welcome and good help on arrival despite being delayed 2 hours due to traffic conditions. Area is very scenic with the location close to the Amstel and will be even more nice once Construction Work on surrounding Buildings has finished. Very good Metro connections to the city centre from the station close by - leave the car in the garage and watch out for all the bikes in the city centre :)
