After a shaky start to our trip to Amsterdam, we arrived delayed and tired, to a host waiting with keys to the apartment. He kindly let us in, showed us around and connected us up to the wifi.
The apartment was lovely and clean, with coffee and tea facilities, decent sized bathroom, television, and a small bar fridge with a surprise bottle of sparkling wine.
Our mood was instantly elevated, and it didn't stop there. The bed was super-duper comfortable and warm, and it was nice (and safe) to sleep with the window open.
The location is perfect, a minute's walk from my favourite part of Amsterdam, Haarlemmer Straat. We were there for a week, it was our base as we saw most of the Netherlands. This area is a little quieter part of the city, with excellent patisseries, cafes, restaurants, bars and coffee shops.
Everything we needed was found on this street, including a laundromat. It's close to the central station and all main attractions. We walked everywhere, because there is just so much to see on the streets of Amsterdam!
This apartment truly made our visit a memorable one, I'd recommend it to anyone planning a longer stay in Amsterdam.
