We had an extraordinarily lovely stay at Trinette’s apartment.
The location is extraordinary in close walking distance to Voldenpark as well as the museums. On Saturday we experienced a neighborhood open air market just steps from the house.
The apartment itself was clean and with much old Amsterdam character. The single flight of steps to the apartment are steep and would not have been accessible to my 84 year mother had she accompanied us. But for a 50 year old couple with teen daughters the steep entry (typical of Amsterdam) was full of character.
Our hosts, Trinette and Fred helped make us Christmas Dinner reservations at an AMAZING local Italian restaurant, Restaurant Classico. Pasta was freshly made and food was at the highest level but without an exclusive attitude. Delicious with a warm, community environment.
At one point we discovered an electrical short that was dangerous. Fred attended to this immediately and it was fixed by the time we returned from our afternoon outing.
I hope we will have the chance to return to Amsterdam and stay once again at this excellent apartment.
