We couldn't have been made to feel more welcome when we arrived at the property, it was an exceptional experience in every way and the home is just as charming as the visuals indicate. The home is quintessential Amsterdam living and not being as familiar with the areas of the city outside of the immediate Downtown area and traveling as a family with two young children, it couldn't have been a more perfect choice also in terms of location. The area around the residence is really lovely - quaint organic markets, coffee shops and nice restaurants with outdoor/indoor dining as well as high end retail, etc. The recommendations made by the host and owner for key places in the neighborhood were perfect (restaurants, carryouts, things to do with children, etc). Vondelpark is also a very short walk from the property - the park is picture perfect with families out on their bikes and play areas for kids. The house is also perfectly positioned for exploring the entire city as we spent a lot of time in the surrounding areas including the museum area which are a 5 minute walk and then into Downtown/canal areas which is only 10 minutes by car at most or approx 20-30 minute walk. Neighborhood is very quiet at night also. We couldn't be more appreciative of the experience provided with this property and the amazing host - they even put a Christmas tree up for us in the living room being right before Christmas with chocolate ornaments which our children enjoyed! We highly recommend this property and area especially for families with young children/children - feels very safe, quaint streets and buildings, charming property and residential street and close proximity to everything. We can't thank you enough!
