Great host and lovely apartment in a great location. Our host Carolina gave us a warm welcome when we arrived and showed us around the apartment. She had sent us clear instructions on how to get to there including which bus/tram numbers to get, which made getting there very easy. The listing was accurate and this beautiful apartment had everything we required. It is very well furnished and came stocked with tea, coffee, bread, milk, fruit, eggs, etc. We couldn't have asked for anything more.

Our host provided us with lots of useful information on the local area as well as maps and menus for the local restaurants. The apartment is up a few flights of stairs and the mezzanine where we slept has wooden beams that need to be negotiated to get into bed (this is mentioned in the listing), so I would not necessarily recommend this accommodation to people with mobility issues but this was not a problem for my companions and I.

The neighbourhood was very with plenty of amenities in close proximity. There is a bus stop and tram stop just around the corner. Café Amsterdam is just across the small square if you want to go out for a meal and there is a bike rental shop right around the corner. There are also cafés, bars and shops within a short walk.

Getting into the centre of Amsterdam is straight forward either by bus or tram, or you can walk or cycle.

We had a great time at the Westerpark Sanctuary and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this accommodation.
