This is one of the loveliest airbnbs we have stayed in. Karen's studio has a private entrance and in totally annexed from her home. The studio is spotlessly clean, tastefully decorated and has been thoughtfully considered with several considerate touches. The balcony offers a lovely outdoor space to relax. The sofa is very comfortable to read on. The bed is very comfortable. The street is very quiet. Tea making facilities and a sink area with a fridge make it very convenient to prepare a small breakfast. There is a wonderful street market for fruit and veg, cheese and bread etc 2 minutes away. Don't forget how steep Amsterdam stairs are if you aren't too mobile. The area is perfectly situated between the two wonderful parks and a 20 minute walk to the museums. Use of bikes is a real bonus. The neighbourhood has some lovely bars and cafes very close by but isn't as touristly as other neighbourhoods. Thoroughly recommend. We would love to stay again next time we come to Amsterdam.
