Thoroughly enjoyed our stay in Amsterdam thanks to Jacob and Patricia's place. The apartment is private, but you are able to take advantage of the shared patio-which is a lovely addition. The apartment is very close to the center, which is easily reached by public transportation, bus 22, which is steps from the apartment door. Jacob greeted us with a warm a smile and a great tour of the place. He and his wife were very friendly and accessible if needed. Would definitely recommend this place for those who are interested in an affordable, clean (smelled GREAT!), and safe place to take in the city!
