Shirley and Ivar's place is absolutely wonderful. Home away from home. The apartment is gorgeous and the view is so good it almost makes you not want to leave and stay inside! The pictures don't do it justice and the space is enormous. Communication was flawless. Check-in was instant upon my arrival and took 2 minutes. Location couldn't be better right up against Amstel Canal, and so easy to get into town, either walking (best way to get to know Amsterdam) or by subway, which is a 2 minute walk from the apartment and 4 stops (5 minutes) from Centraal. Supermarket, cafes, pubs, and restaurants all within a short walking distance. In short, the place is PERFECT, and the rooftop terraces are icing on the cake. The only bad thing about this apartment is having to leave....it makes you want to move to Amsterdam and call it home! Thank you for sharing your lovely home, hope to be back soon.
