The Blue House is quaint and cute, very clean, and very stylishly appointed. We have stayed in quite a few airbnb spots up to this point, and this might rank as one of the nicest. Add to that -- the coffeemaker filled with primo beans for every-morning lattes; the bikes we were allowed to borrow; and the overall attention to our needs -- and it adds up to a really great experience.

While the Blue House is on a quiet residential block, just a few minutes' bike ride away is the trendy NDSM neighborhood. We spent a good deal of time eating and riding around that area and it made our second trip to Amsterdam unique and way-less-touristy.

We highly recommend the Nord area overall - and the Blue House specifically.
