If we ever get the chance to return to Amsterdam, I know exactly where we will want to stay.
First off, the hosts are amazing. Friendly and knowledgeable about the neighborhood and the city. Good recommendations and advice. Never mind that they happened to be away on their own holiday while we were there, they responded nearly immediately to any request or questions.
The flat makes very efficient use of a tiny space. It never felt crowded. Giant windows with canal views, separate WC and shower room, a big comfy bed and a kitchen with a plug in cook top, fridge and microwave. What more do you need?
A dedicated workspace? Got it…if you can get any work done on that table by the window with the amazing views. Wifi worked great.
The flat is up a couple of flights but it’s an easy trek, even with backpacks. There’s plenty of cool art along the way up if you want to take a rest.
Within walking distance of just about anything you need or want in the old part of town (including restaurants, grocery stores, coffee shops, cafes, clothing shops, bicycle shops — everything!)
If, for example, you don’t want to walk to the museum quarter - which is a little further out - the trans and buses are a few blocks off.
The flat is comfortable, clean, near everything you need and has wonderfully quirky touches (a light up Mona Lisa and fun mismatched dishes that don’t look like the white IKEA dishes in every Air B nB place) that just make you feel at home.
Don’t pass up the opportunity to stay here.
