Our stay was fantastic. Amsterdam was our first stop on a 8 city journey through Europe. I couldn't think of a better place to stay than in Lora's beautiful home. The reality is even better than the incredible pictures.
The De Pijp is a fun, diverse, and lively neighborhood and also close to many other central locations. I highly recommend renting bikes throughout your stay, Ajax Rentals is about a 7 min walk from the apartment and is cheap & reliable.... they even quelled our fears about biking on the active streets of Amsterdam.
Aesthetically, the apartment is phenomenal. The lighting in the kitchen/dining room is spectacular. It is obvious the very close attention to detail and love that Lora and her family have put into remodeling this fantastic place. The beds are very comfortable and the entire apartment was spotless upon our arrival. Lora is very prompt with communicating with you if you need anything. The only possible setback is the journey up the 4-flights of steep and windy stairs... something you may want to consider if you have mobility issues. However they are common throughout the antique homes in Amsterdam and add to the local experience! Thank you Lora, when I return to Amsterdam I'll be certain to rent with you again.
