Auke was a wonderful host and his apartment is cozy and cool. Located above excellent restaurants and a few minutes walk to many great attractions (Museumplein, Heineken Experience, and Vondelpark) this location can’t be beat. The neighborhood has a real local feel to it and is filled with amazing shopping, bars, and the Albert Cuyp Market. Enjoy some tea on the balcony and relax after a day of exploring. While the stairs are steep, it is an authentic Amsterdam experience and the climb is worth the comfortable oasis waiting for you on the second floor. I can’t recommend Auke’s apartment enough!
