My partner and I relocated to Amsterdam from Sydney, Australia and stayed in Nathalie and Sarah's apartment for our first week and we had an amazing experience. The apartment is massive, with lots of homely decorative touches and warm light which makes you feel cosy and at home. The kitchen is equipped with everything you need (and welcome drinks in the fridge!) and is a pleasure to cook in. There are lots of stairs but, hey, that's Europe. There are two toilets on either floor which is handy and the bathroom is very spacious and well lit. The queen bed is super comfy but the showstopper is the sunny rooftop which is like your own secret garden. Perfect for an afternoon cheese and wine session.

In terms of location we don't think you can beat Joordan. So many cafes and small bars and restaurants and the perfect vibe (not too touristy) but an easy walk to Anne Frank House and the centre.

Sarah our host was perfect and checked in via email to make sure we were feeling at home. I will be recommending this property to all my visiting friends and family... it's like a home away from home and I miss it already!
