Despite arriving at the flat very late, Wilma was there to welcome us to her beautiful flat. Wilma and her family live just upstairs so it was very easy coordinating with her and she was easily available if we needed anything.

The amenities of the apartment itself were perfect. The rain shower, blackout curtains, and fridge were especially appreciated, and there was a even selection of snacks and drinks waiting for us on arrival. The bed was comfortable and the decor lovely, with lots of charming details. There is a cat upstairs that visited us from time to time. She was very sweet, but if you are allergic, be attentive to keeping the door latched.

The apartment is in a beautiful "classic Amsterdam" style building in a quiet area about 25 minutes walk to the city center. It was a breath of fresh air to come home to a real neighborhood, as opposed to a tourist trap. It does mean being out all day, as the apartment is not really central enough to pop in and out.
