We (3 adults and one gorgeous 4-month old girl) had a great stay at Remco's apartment in the Jordaan. The apartment is exactly how it looks in the photos and even has that "new apartment" smell - it's freshly renovated and looks stunning. We were surprised to find two complete bathrooms upstairs, each with their own high-tech steam shower (that even plays the radio to you!) and separate jacuzzi baths. Wow. The kitchen is well equipped with everything needed to make a quick breakfast, handle a take-away lunch, bake some baguettes etc, and even includes a espresso maker.

Remco was the perfect host - he met us late at night without complaint (we arrived on the last Thalys of the night), showed us around the apartment, left us two sets of keys and met us again promptly for check-out. Great communication and a true gentleman.

The apartment is the penthouse on the top-floor, and as such there are 4 flights of steep stairs to navigate. Par for the course in Amsterdam, but could be a challenge for seniors and we had to work out a technique to safely carry our baby up the stairs!

There's a late night supermarket around the corner, fantastic coffee next door, a big Albert Heijn supermarket 5 minutes walk away and a gourmet biologique Marqt superarket 7 minutes walk away. The apartment is on the edge of the Jordaan and you can be canal-side 30 seconds after leaving the front door!

Since the apartment is brand new there are a few minor rough edges such as a missing light fitting and loose cables on the balcony, but Remco is all over these, and even has the fittings ready to install in boxes inside the apartment, so I have no doubt they'll all be done soon.

The only "hmmm" item is the lack of doors on the en-suite bathrooms. You have to be VERY close to your significant other for them to use the loo without a door, but this is easily solved by using the non-ensuite loo!

Overall a great stay, spotlessly clean and modern apartment and a fantastic host, and we'll be back soon. Thanks Remco!
