I can't praise Lieke, and the apartment, highly enough! Everything was superb. Lieke welcomed us warmly, told us everything we needed to know in great detail, and let us know that we could be in touch with her at any time if there were other questions or problems. The neighborhood is just outside the city center, and well within walking distance of the main museums, cafes, and shopping streets. We actually preferred this neighborhood to the ones in the very center, which are extremely crowded (with tourists, in particular.) The flat itself was really lovely, comfortable, and cozy. I would recommend Lieke's flat to anyone wanting to spend a relaxing but inspiring time in beautiful Amsterdam. And, above all, I would recommend Lieke, as a host. Thank you, Lieke!
