We didn't meet Selmer in person but his friend Oscar was there for us. He helped us a lot when needed. Also Selmer tried to help even he was out of Amsterdam. The house is very nice located and very quiet at night. The canal view is very beautiful. The house was clean and the bed was comfortable. The heater and the shower were well-working. The only disadvantage was the Dutch stairs. The flat was on the top floor so climbing those narrow steep stairs was a bit difficult after a long day but all traditional Dutch stairs are so, I guess. :) The neighborhood was beautiful and there were everything we needed such as supermarkets, restaurants etc. Tram 1 and 17 are just a few minutes walk away from the apartment. Also if you like, you can walk to many attractions such as vondelpark, Heineken experience etc. Overall, we highly recommend Selmer's house.
