Rolf's place was absolutely perfect! My only complaint is that the tempurpedic bed was so comfortable we found it hard to get up at a reasonable time! The De Pijp neighborhood is the best, with a street market and many restaurants and bars in walking distance, very trendy and fun. We met several local restaurateurs who gave us great advice as well (Check out the grilled cheese at the Albert Cuyp Market, Sonny for the best falafel, De Japanner for late night Japanese food and The Swedish Embassy for serious coffee and gravlax). The museum passes allowed us to visit the Anne Frank House (be sure to reserve your time slot online in advance!) as well as the Van Gogh and Rijksmuseum. Not having to pay admission for each meant that we felt free to stop in even if just for a quick visit. The museums are also very close to the apartment. We loved that Rolf was so welcoming, having his neighbor help greet us, letting us check in early and even saying to help ourselves to anything in the fridge (we made some lovely scrambled eggs one morning!). His home is well equipped with two separate toilets, double sinks in the upstairs bathroom and a shower and large jacuzzi bathtub. The place is very spacious and like it says, perfect for couples, with lots of light from the many windows. Being able to wash our clothes and hang them on the line in the apartment was a welcome perk at the end of our trip. Like most places in Amsterdam, there are many sets of steep stairs but we had no trouble with them and found the two level design charming. Rolf thinks of everything: setting up the tv with American Netflix, stocking soap/coffee/etc, furnishing yoga mat and meditation cushion, and his guidebook offers some great recommendations. He truly is a super host, always helpful and quick to respond. Our absolute favorite part was Rolf's bikes that he provided for us, equipped with locks and bells. We loved riding the whole city like the locals (it takes maybe 20 minutes to get all the way across to the central station) and even in winter it was a pleasant way to get around for people used to biking. Go out for a rijsttafel, a sampling of the excellent Indonesian food in this city and take the ferry with the bikes over to north Amsterdam and go up in the shiny new A'DAM toren for a beautiful view looking back at the city. Order a vaasje of cold local beer and be sure to eat a pickled herring dipped in onion. Come stay here and experience the real city, beyond the touristy red light district. Amsterdam is a charming and historic city full of great architecture and art and has so much to offer- we truly can't wait to return and stay in Rolf's place again.
