Harald, Edith and Harald's sister Edith were the perfect hosts. They must be very well-travelled, because they prep the apartment with everything one can possible need during the trip, from thoughtful map and instructions, to cups of instant noodles and soup. The place was impeccably clean with lots of privacy and light. Great view of the canal and very tastefully designed. Couldn't ask for any better! One thing that touched us deeply was when Harald woke up early when we left just to take a picture of us in front of their beautiful house, which they sent to us almost immediately after. I would say staying here makes up a great part of why we love Amsterdam!
