I'm just home from a few days in Amsterdam and already wish I was back there. Everything about my stay at Jouri's place was super easy, relaxed and enjoyable.
Jouri is lovely and made me feel very welcome and safe. He waited for me even though I was a little late to arrive and took the time to show me around and make sure I was settled and happy. He was also sure to point out that I could call if I needed anything extra during my stay. The only sad thing was that I didn't get to meet him for longer and hear more about his adventures :)
The flat is beautiful and perhaps even nicer than in the pictures..very spacious and clean, with high ceilings and huge windows. I was in Amsterdam for an event and when I posted a picture of the living room I instantly received a lot of envious comments! We couldn't have hoped for a better place. The bed was very comfortable and the curtains black out all the light. You could easily sleep in without knowing the time! The shower is also great and was never short of hot water..you even get to bathe in starlight ;) (worth checking out!)
The flat's in a lovely neighbourhood and very easy to get to at all hours of the day. I had to take a night bus back on a couple of occasions and also a tram late at night. It felt safe and easy. There are good shops and restaurants a few minutes away and you can easily walk into the centre from the flat. Everything is very convenient.
Jouri was also very accommodating when my plans changed and as with everything else, was very relaxed with how he dealt with the changes.
I shared the flat with two friends during the trip and we all really enjoyed our stay. Both the main bed and the sofa bed are very comfortable and spacious. There is plenty of space for four to share.
Jouri is a great host and his place is a real treat to stay in. I'm sure I'll be back again in the future and will certainly be contacting Jouri straight away.
Thanks, Jouri!..from all three of us!
