I LOVED staying in Tjakko's apartment! Book it NOW! The giant windows were so gorgeous (but you must keep them closed), and taking a bath while looking at the view was sublime! The place was sparkling clean--I never felt a speck of dust on my feet! The bed was huge and comfortable. We didn't end up drinking the champagne that Tjakko left us, but it made everything a little more exciting to know it was there if we wanted it! I did enjoy some the beers, the wine, the sparkling water, and the stroopwaffels! Oh, and the fresh flowers!
The last couple of times I stayed at cheaper places closer to the airport, thinking I would save money, but I spent just as much on transportation to the center! The extra cost for this luxurious apartment evened out and was well worth it. I mean, it's very reasonably priced for how nice it is, and the location is fantastic. Easy to get to from the Centraal Station. I loved the single room living situation--it was so convenient! Now I want to live that way. Some people might be put off by the toilet in the corner of the room, but it has a privacy glass with an opaque section, and my boyfriend and I found the intimacy quite romantic!
