We didn't meet Lotje, but her friend who greeted us on our arrival explained everything very well. Lotje replied promptly and in a very helpful way via email to any questions we had prior to our visit. Her apartment is beautifully furnished, clean and spacious. It was also well equipped with everything we needed to ensure our stay was very comfortable. The garden was lovely and we were fortunate to be able to sit in the sunshine whilst we were there. It was really quiet and peaceful with no traffic noise, the only sound being that of the birds singing. The apartment is in a very good location with the tram stop close by. The frequent service of the trams meant getting into the city centre was quick and easy. It was also a lovely walk to the centre. The supermarket just around the corner was really convenient and was very well stocked. We were pleased that we stayed in Lotje's apartment whilst visiting Amsterdam, after a day sightseeing it really felt like home from home. We would definitely request to stay again should we return to Amsterdam in the future.
