Madelinde was one of the most gracious and helpful hosts I have had the pleasure to meet using airbnb. On my arrival there she was, there was a nice bottle of novello join the table, and in the fridge enough cheese, ham, milk eggs to have a truly great breakfast! A first for me since using airbnb! The apartment could not be better located (30 minutes top walking from Centraalstation), perfect for one person or a couple, with everything one might need and spotlessly clean. It is on the edge of ordain so very quiet. Madeline and her family live upstairs so if you are in the apartment during the day you will hear people in the stairs and upstairs walking but this is not a problem in the evening and I slept beautifully there. I really could not recommend it more and hope to be able to stay there on subsequent stays in Amsterdam. Black bikes rentals nearby on Bloemgracht as well as a host of great cafes and restaurants! I would add that I had booked one day extra that I later canceled and that Madeline on the spot offered to pay me back in cash for the mishap.
