I cannot say enough good things about our stay in Tessa's apartment. For two adults and three younger children, it was just about perfect. The apartment itself is more spacious than it seems in the photos and the kitchen is fabulously equipped with anything you could need, including a large refrigerator and nespresso machine. The location is outstanding - far enough from the central tourist zone to be quiet and relaxing with a neighborhood feel. However, the museum district and the historic central Amsterdam can be reached by a pleasant 15 - 20 min walk or short tram ride. Several tram lines stop at the intersection around the corner, making travel by tram super convenient. There is an Albert Heijn grocery and a bakery located on the same corner so you can easily pick up a few things at the start and end of the day. Numerous restaurants are located within a five minute walk and the fun Foodhallen is not more than a ten minute walk.
Tessa was a delightful host. She checked in with us before our trip and graciously accommodated our late arrival due to a missed flight. During our stay, she checked in to make sure all was well and helped us with several suggestions and recommendations. Check-out was also a snap.
I would happily recommend her apartment to families visiting Amsterdam.
