My mother, sister and I stayed a Dirk's home for a week. We were looking for a location thatbwas close to everything, but not in a hectic part of the city. Dirk's place was was perfect for us.
We loved the location and the home itself. Dirk has made his home very comfortable for guests. The beds are comfortable,, the showers are great and there is a washer and dryer, which we wanted. The patio area is beautiful.
The neighborhood is quiet, but has many things close by. There are four or five restaurants directly acoss the street and next door. We tried two and they were both delicious. The park is also a few blocks away and there are great restraunts there too. There is also two grocery stores and other stores a block or two away. There is also a bus stop right in front of the house, which we used most days.
Dirk was such a great host and provided answers to our many questions and gave great suggestions about places to eat, etc. I would absolutely stay at Dirk's again if I were going to Amsterdam. We were so comfortable there and in the neighborhood. 5 stars for sure. We loved it.
