First off, communication with Gijs was a breeze! He will be there to answer any question you may have.
Apartment is clean and as accurate as it can get. There is a large living hall with sensational portraits and art so if you’re an artsy person this is the place for you. The room that I have rented is a library because of the huge volumes of books Gijs have. The room gives you a different sensation living in there as compared to the other apartments I’ve lived in other parts of the world.
Location is superb. Literally 10mins away from Amsterdam Central station, the apartment is surrounded by entertaining alleys full of pubs, food and houses with red lights. Very easily accessible.
To get to the city centre such as Dam Square, you don’t even have to take the public transport (though you can) but it’s easily walkable within 15mins.
Overall experience, 9/10. 1 point less because we spent too little time in Amsterdam! Gutted.
