Aldo’s place was superb and exactly as advertised. Location was ideal, just out of town and well connected by tram. We hired bikes from the bike shop “Mercator” which is nearly visible from the apartment’s front door (turn left out the door and walk across the junction) for a tenner a day and the boys there were super helpful and nice. Aldo stays in the apartment but we didn’t have a chance to interact much as we were out exploring all that Amsterdam has to offer for the weekend. Plenty of nice places to eat of course, we highly recommend Moak Pancakes nearby and Ted’s for breakfast. A bit “brunchy” for my liking but IMO breakfast is only breakfast with some eggs, even being Dutch I don’t understand how a place can call themselves a breakfast place when they just serve a croissant 🤷‍♂️ like wtf?? Anyway the place is simple, clean, wel priced for location and ideal to use as a base if you don’t mind cycling 10mins from the Rokin to get home, which I certainly didn’t. Probably cuts down on the number of drunk tourists throwing up on your doorstep as it was very quiet with only the occasional tram ding-dinging on the way by and the odd siren. If you want 5* all inclusive luxury then find the Waldorf. This is simple, well-located, and gets you the real Amsterdam experience 👌
