Ellie and Bertram's apartment proved to the perfect spot for my wife and I to meet up with our son who had been traveling the world for the past 9 months. This apartment is on a quiet street across from a park and yet is within easy walking distance of some really nice bars and restaurants on Utrechtsestraat and the fantastic nightlife of Rembrandtplein. Its also an easy walk to the #4 Tram which goes all the way north to Central Station. Walk another direction and you're at Museum Square and Vondel Park in 10 or 15 minutes. The apartment itself is beautifully designed and furnished. There are two twin beds in the semi-private rear bedroom; a totally re-finished bathroom; a fully equiped kitchen with refrigerator and induction cooktop and plenty of pots, pans, knives and full dinner service. Next to the kitchen is a dining table with seating for four and next to that the living room with two big windows that overlook the park. There's a comfortable couch that unfolds into a double bed and a TV that gets about 35 stations (many in English). Two doors down is a wonderful coffee shop that serves great breakfasts and lunches. A few doors up is a a supermarket. A few reviewers complained about noise from Ellie's grandchildren who live in the apartment above but in the nine days we spent here, all we ever heard were them occasionally coming up or going down the steps outside. Ellie and Bertram were very nice and extremely helpful with recommendations of all kinds. Bottom line: this apartment was the perfect home base for our 9 day stay in one of our favorite and most beautiful cities in the world.
