Jo was simply the loveliest AirBNB host we've ever had. She stayed up late to meet us after a long trip and was very warm and welcoming even though it was so late on a weeknight. The apartment is settled right in the middle of the old Jewish area of town so it's a bit more quite and not right in the middle of all the noise and tourist attractions of Amsterdam, which is what we wanted. A lovely neighborhood in and of itself, Jo has made a fantastic map for you to explore and discover that part of town (which isn't always at the top of everyone's "must-see" list.) Espresso machine, electric kettle, and all the amenities needed for a comfortable stay. I would say the only disappointment is that we chose to come in March and even though the weather was on our side we didn't get to reap the benefits of the beautiful private garden attached to the apartment. Jo says it's filled with beautiful blooms and blossoms in the spring and summer months. I only hope we have the opportunity to visit Amsterdam and stay at Jo's rental again to see the flowers. We highly recommend this apartment for a beautiful, serene, stay in Amsterdam.
