We had a great time on our recent trip to Amsterdam, made perfect by choosing to stay at Dirk's lovely home. Everything was just as pictured, only better, because you can't feel the charm, convenience, spaciousness, or amenities through photos. We especially loved the private outdoor patio. The kitchen was fully equipped and we were able to prepare meals by shopping at the nearby stores. We then got to enjoy the second story view of the lively streets below from the dining area. We absolutely loved the location because we could walk outside and catch a bus to anywhere! Another plus is the proximity to Westergasfabriek. During our stay we were able to attend several outdoor events, like the Neighbor Food and Flea Market and the monthly food and craft fair. It was also a wonderful area to ride bikes and enjoy the outdoors. We enjoyed the entire neighborhood as there are several good restaurants and take-always. One of the big pluses for us was being accessible to Old Amsterdam but being able to leave there and stay in a quieter area. That was especially true on King's Day! Dirk was extremely helpful before our arrival and upon our meeting, providing comprehensive answers to any of our questions, not only about his home but on Amsterdam and the Netherlands in general. He is indeed a Super Host!!
