Lisette and Vince were wonderful hosts. We arrived in the morning and Vince was there to meet us and to carry our heavy suitcase upstairs (husband has a bad back so this was appreciated). He showed us around and we were free to use anything we needed. They have a wonderfully stocked kitchen with oils, spices, etc. We did not do any cooking, but could have easily made a complicated meal if we wanted to. Fridge was stocked with a bottle of wine and other cooking necessities. The apartment was clean and shower products were even provided. They left us suggestions for dining out and a map to local attractions, including the Albert Cuyp market. Grocery store was right across the street, and 20 min walk to Heineken brewery. Museum district about 15 minute walk. We were able to walk all the way to Dam square in about 45 minutes, stopping to see many interesting sights along the way. Highly recommend this apartment.
