This is a wonderful apartment, full of character and very cosy. It was just as we had imagined based on the photos.
The apartment is just outside the city centre, so you get a lovely local vibe and does not feel too touristy, but is close enough to everything that (apart from arriving/leaving) we were able to walk everywhere. It was especially useful for exploring the Jordaan, Grachtengordel and museum areas. So you get culture, canals and great places to eat/drink right on your doorstep!
Eva made us feel very welcome, our flight was late arriving and she was great about waiting around for us and helping us find our way when we were tired. She had left us a bottle of wine to welcome us and provided a map and a brilliant little guide to places around Amsterdam that she recommended visiting, including some lovely restaurants in the area. Even though she was going to be away, she made sure we knew we could contact her any time and had left us the number of a friend in the area in case we needed something in an emergency.
We loved this flat and would happily return, it made a lovely holiday even more special.
