5+ stars - Evert’s place is not only in the best location (in my opinion), but it is also so beautifully designed and decorated. Evert really has a great eye and I absolutely LOVED the apartment studio!!! It had a wonderful view from all the windows of the canal, and yet was so private and quiet at night (as opposed to a lot of other neighborhoods in Amsterdam). The surrounding area and Jordaan is absolutey beautiful and perfect for those looking for a quiet and scenic escape in Amsterdam away from all the partying and red light district craziness (which is only 10 minutes away if you want it but honestly this place is not really for you if that’s the focus of your trip). There’s lots of cafes, bike rentals, shopping, and very good restaurants only 5 min walking away.
At the Airbnb I had all the amenities and home comforts such as tea & coffee, shampoo & fresh towels, bed slippers. Evert also left out a variety of guidebooks and tips for the area, which are always helpful! The bed is comfy and so was the desk to work from—Tons of room to relax and spread out. I do want to point out that this studio is on the 2nd floor and not for anyone who can’t do stairs... however these windy tall stairs are very typical of traditional Dutch houses. That being said, it was not an issue for my stay and I even had help bringing my luggage up.
Evert is a great and communicative host, highly responsive and so polite and respectful! He made sure my stay was comfortable and getting the keys was very easy. I also needed my bags stored and he accommodated me and made sure my things were safe. I was very impressed :)
Thank you Evert for a wonderful experience and a perfect home away from home in Amsterdam. I’m looking forward to coming back and I hope to stay with you again!
Aloha,
