Barbara is a very gracious host, considerate and kind, so is her son who was very kind and helpful. The apartment is exactly as seen in the pictures; the little garden is very sweet and a great location for a late breakfast. The location is great, quiet neighborhood, a walking distance from all the main tourist attractions of Amsterdam, and right next to many cool pubs, shops and restaurants. We were a group of four who stayed for 4 days, the apartment was really all we could ask for :)
