AMAZING APARTMENT -- This is by far the best Airbnb I have ever stayed at. It is really easily connected to public transit, about 5 minutes walk from the bus and train that can take you right to the center of the city within just 15-20 minutes total.
Here are some things that made it so special:
- The apartment is sparkling clean and absolutely gorgeous. It is remodeled and modern, with brand-new appliances, and it has such beautiful design style, like something out of an interior decorating magazine.
- It is super comfortable and cozy. In fact, I have never felt as "at home" when I was traveling as I did at this Airbnb.
- It is extremely spacious, with a nice big living room and kitchen.
- The living room windows overlook the river -- right on the harbor -- so you can see the water and boats passing by. And if you want privacy, you can of course put the curtains down.
- The bed is very large and extremely comfortable -- felt like sleeping on a cloud.
- It has a washing machine, so you can do your laundry there if needed.
- The neighborhood is really quiet -- no noise at all. It was a really nice and peaceful place to go back to after the craziness of sightseeing in the city of Amsterdam.
The hosts were also amazing.
- They were extremely communicative, friendly people.
- In addition to easy check-in with a lockbox, they also gave me a detailed list of instructions on how I could get to the apartment from the Central Station or from the airport, as well as tips on grocery stores and shopping nearby. Without their manual, I would not have known that you should get an OV-chipkaart to use for public transit system.
- They also gave a nice package of stroopwaffel for me when I arrived.
Thank you so much Maaike and Bart for a fabulous visit!
