Vieve was wonderful and friendly. She waited for me to get there, explained the beautiful efficient apartment, and kept in touch easily the whole time. She left wine and cheese and snacks and a map, and is just generally pleasant. The apartment is super clean and sunny and nice. If you're not familiar with De Pijp neighborhood, you should stay here, it's so beautiful and filled with small cafes and parks. I also really enjoyed just having some meals on her terrace. I would so highly recommend anyone to stay here. I'm used to this but just be careful--though she's only on the second floor, the steps are not only steep but tiny and winding, as are many old euro buildings. so, keep that in mind if you have a big heavy suitcase or any physical restrictions. That aside, 5 stars all the way. :)
