My wife and I have stayed in many airbnb's in many cities, and I must say that this ranks among the most wonderful experiences of all. The photos do not do the apartment justice: the apartment is bright, quiet, and beautiful, everything imaginable is supplied and functional, with a useful kitchen, and a back balcony, with a lovely table overlooking the quiet courtyard below, where one can detect a few cats lurking beneath the trees. The street is relatively quiet, more bicycles than cars, and the sunlight fills the open space with light. Anne and David are the most caring and considerate hosts we have ever had, anywhere. They are so thoughtful, with stunning touches far and beyond any other hosts; some fresh bread from the local bakery! a local Dutch beer in the fridge! along with milk, cheese, and jams, plus coffee and teas! If you read French, you'll enjoy the outstanding collection of classic and modern French and world literature, plus a stunning DVD collection. The old piano is probably out of tune and I didn't want to disturb the calm of the place, so I never tried it, but just seeing it there added a lovely bit of charm. The bedding is clean and fresh, the towels are ample, the bathroom is convenient, the water is hot. This place is superb. It's also a short block or two from the Vondelpark, so you're not drowning in the tourists' section, but you're still most definitely close enough to get to the Rijksmuseum and all of the main canals with just a lovely stroll through the park on the way. The best way to experience Amsterdam. The local neighborhood itself also has some truly wonderful cafés, pastry-shops, restaurants, and very good grocery stores, including an excellent Ecoplaza (the organics chain) just a short walk past a canal. We can't say enough about this truly wonderful apartment, and we hope to return again and again.
