We had a wonderful stay in this authentic old Amsterdam building with an entire floor to ourselves. It had great amenities including a Krups coffee machine and microwave ... all were easy to use. It was very close to trams, the metro, a grocery, a bakery and good restaurants, especially Indonesian ones if you want to try a rijsttafel (delicious). Arien and Huib were marvellous hosts, going out of their way to help us wherever they could. There were even maps and guidebooks in the apartment to help prepare our days out There’s a big outside balcony at the back on which to relax in warmer weather. Just remember this is an old wooden house and you will occasionally hear footsteps from upstairs, but we were never disturbed during normal sleeping hours. Overall, highly recommended.
