Maike and Casper are incredible hosts. We reached before our check in time and they offered us coffee and a seat in their living area till the time the other guests left. They are very friendly, polite, clean and helpful. They explained us the directions and places to see in Amsterdam. They had information booklets on everything, yes everything!
Their place was the best amongst the others that we stayed in across Central Europe. The apartment has everything that you can only otherwise expect in a good hotel: TV, coffee and coffee maker, electric kettle, books, a separate bath and toilet (!) and most of all, an incredible view! The neighbourhood is clean and plush, with bus connections to centraal station and is very close to places of interest in Amsterdam.
Btw, Maike also served us breakfast in the morning, which was delicious. I'm not staying anywhere else if we're in Amsterdam again!
