We were very pleased with everything from the initial contact with Joop and until the day we left the apartment. Joop responded very quickly to our booking request, informed us clearly through email on the apartment's location and how we could get there from the airport, and how we could get the keys because he was away just when we arrived. The apartment (which has a very good location) was exactly as described on the website, no, it was actually even better! There was everything needed for us two, and it was so nice to find coffee, tea and even complimentary wine, we felt really welcome. The house itself is beautiful with stained glass windows in the stairwell, and the apartment is comfortably furnished with nice color scheme. If you enjoy watching tranquil urban life, you can easily do it from the apartment's large windows - and outdoors you will find grocery stores, restaurants, cafes very near. And the rest of the beautiful Amsterdam lies at your feet!
