Joke was a good host. She welcomed us and then disappeared, making us feel as though it was just our place alone. The location of Amstel Fab Apartment is ideal, with the Ysbreeker (sp?) restaurant just below, it almost felt like a hotel. We walked everywhere, averaging about 16,000 steps a day. Everything was within walking distance. We loved the way Joke left a well stocked fridge and cupboard for us. We had tea and coffee for the whole week. What's more, there was sugar, milk and things like oil and vinegar for salads. Also a whole bunch of little strupwaffles which we ate up appreciatively. We didn't have to go to a grocery store at all for the entire week. We did walk to the Albert Cuyp market to buy cheese and fresh vegetables. The apartment has a really excellent bathtub and unlimited hot water. There is almost nothing bad to say about Joke's apartment. I have to really try hard, but here are a few things. The shower was not very powerful and you have to climb 4 stories -- 59 steep steps -- to get to the apartment. That's about it. The place is close to a Metro station and is pretty easy to find. Lots of great restaurants around of all ethnic types. We highly recommend Joke's apartment to anyone.
