My first visit to Amsterdam and it was a memorably experience enhanced by the welcoming and homely feel of Sonya's apartment.
The place - is tastefully decorated with practical furniture amidst a light and airy functional living space. We loved having a double/queen sized beds each and our own section of wardrobe space. The kitchen was clean, well laid out and homely. Sonya's place contains all (and more) to make your stay comfortable.
Location - the apartment is situated on the second floor and overlooks the bustling and eclectic Albert Cuypmarket which stretches along two long blocks. We were at first a bit concerned of the street noise from the markets but that was quickly balanced with the easy walking distance to bars, cafes, restaurants and places of interest. Compared to the city centre, De Pijp is a nice balance of activity and urban serenity. I'm glad we chose this location for our accommodation.
Sonya took so much care and time to write us an email describing local bars, restaurants and places of interest to see; it felt like I was visiting an old friend.
A great 3 nights in Amsterdam made all the more better with this lovely apartment.
