Maike and Caspar were helpful, friendly, well planned and kind people. They have prepared an instruction manual about their place with ID for the internet, maps and instruction where to shop, what places to eat, what places to visit around Amsterdam. They even informed us about reservation tickets for the late Rembrandt exhibition before we arrived.
As other guests have said, Maike and Caspar's house displays lots of arts, books, nice and clean. The scenery and atmosphere were great.
We came with a car so it is somewhat inconvenient to park at the other side of the canal because we didn't want to pay 15 EU per day for a week in order to park in front of their house . It took about 45 mins to an hour in the morning and the evening to walk to get the car and to park. After a second day, we got used to it: walking passed two bridges, taking the ferry. The ferry came 15 mins before the hour. Other than that every things about staying with Maike and Caspar were great.
