We had a wonderful stay at Nora & Corinne's place, and couldn't have asked for a more ideal setting.
LOCATION: Near the Jordaan District, the apartment is close to one of the nicest and not-overly-touristy parts of Amsterdam. This area has a really vibrant energy. Lots of locals, small businesses, markets just across the street, cheese store, restaurants & cafes all around, and Amsterdam Centraal train station within walking distance (15 minutes on foot, 3 minutes by car). The city tram is about a 10 minute walk away. The flat is a great starting point for exploring the canals & streets of old Amsterdam.
APARTMENT: The flat is located on the level above a nice, small Vietnamese restaurant. The hosts have created a beautifully designed apartment that is modern, clean and cozy. This is an older, charming building, but the interior is completely new, and the flat has the modern comforts needed for a short visit. The cozy bedroom is located in the rear of the flat, so you get privacy and quiet. The small courtyard off of the bedroom was an added treat.
Nora & Corinne were excellent communicators & very professional, both before and during our visit. Response time to my questions was very fast. We met Corinne upon arrival. She was very friendly and kind. She showed us around the flat, and offered a nice printed list of places to eat, drink & visit. She also offered us some nice treats, which were very welcome after our long journey here. You could tell they were very proud of their apartment, and they really made our visit to this amazing city memorable. We recommend Nora & Corinne's place very highly.
