Rene’s apartment is the PERFECT location. Right on a canal and 3 min walk to a center with bars, food and public transit. My friend and I went for my birthday. First time for both of us and we walked EVERYWHERE! Bikes were a little too intimidating for us, but whenever we walked home we knew how to find the apartment and nothing was too far. The apartment is a great size for 2 people, COMFY BED! Towels, robes, little kitchen and a warm, powerful shower. The little patio out back we didn’t sit on bc it was too cold out but if it was summer we would of had our glasses of wine out there. Tea every morning or coffee, provided by our host. We woke up every morning, got ready and out the door for the rest of the day adventuring around Amsterdam. The local pubs and restaurants around the corner have friendly people and are willing to give you an tips or advise. Stay at this apartment if you are going to Amsterdam it is a real treat! Can’t wait to come back!
