Great host. Ernst make sure you feel very welcome in his apartment and goes out of his way to make your stay comfortable. We never met in person, but his communication was excellent and the recommendations were fantastic. Pllek was great fun when the weather was boiling hot. Ferry was free too!
Great location. Right near the tram and took about 30 mins to get to the airport via tram and train. Centre about 20 minutes by bike or by tram. Some really nice cafes nearby and bike rentals. We used Smart Bikes which was the only one open early Sunday morning and cycled all over town and to the Vondlepark. Cycling really is the best way to see the city.
Ernst's apartment was very modern, new and clean, and the perfect base for exploring Amsterdam. We didn't really spend much time there because the weather was so nice we were always out and about doing things.
Thanks for everything, if we return to Amsterdam we will definitely stay again.
