I stayed in this apartment for nine days with my boyfriend, and we loved it. The area is very nice, with a park, a store and a few pubs. I'm very happy we found a place that quiet so close to the city. the apartment was clean, spacious and had everything you would need in the kitchen. Hans is also very nice. I talked to him about the area and the city before we arrived and he was very helpful. He found websites in English for me where I could read about markets and museums, and he was also very helpful when we arrived. If I had any questions about Amsterdam or the Netherlands he was happy to answer. We also arrived quite late the first day and left in the evening our last, but this was no problem. Hans was there with the key and he was happy to let us store our bags there through the day, even though check out was at eleven. We had a great trip and I'm very happy with this apartment. I'd be happy or stay here again.
