I am so glad I stayed in Hakam’s beautiful apartment. The apartment is in a quiet, newer neighborhood just slightly off the beaten path which so it offers a quiet retreat from some of the busy-ness of Amsterdam. That said, it’s within easy walking distance of both the historical parts of the city and cool, interesting newer neighborhoods. The space is airy and inviting - there is fabulous natural light throughout the apartment and a lovely view of the canal. The bedrooms are fairly large and Hakam made sure there was ample space in the wardrobes for folded and hung clothing. The kitchen is well-appointed and, as far as we could tell, has everything you might need for making meals at home. The decor in the home is modern and sweet and the whole place is very clean. Hakam was quick with answers to queries before we arrived and was gracious in all our exchanges. I would absolutely stay there again and would definitely recommend it very highly to any friends traveling to Amsterdam.
