We’ve just moved here from China and the Bahamas for work and were apartment hunting the whole time.
Staying at her place gave us a true sense of Amsterdam both as a local and as a tourist. Her place is directly on a canal and directly next to the tram and metro making any commute a breeze. She welcomed us personally and gave a brief introduction to the area, some restaurants, and of course her house which is an original canal home and featured in several publications.
The apartment is perfect for 2 people (and a dog!) and super cozy. Well looked after and spotless; there’s several vases of fresh flowers which added a really nice touch.
Don’t pass this one up!
