I've stayed in a lot of homestay rentals over the years and Travelling Light (Nick's place) is in my Top 3. From the moment my husband and I put in our reservation, Nick had tons of information for us. He met us personally to show us around the apartment when we arrived and gave us tips for neighborhood sights and restaurants. The apartment itself is spotlessly clean and beautifully decorated - just as pictured - and the location is outstanding: The Vondelpark is steps from the front door; the Museumplein is a five minute walk; the Leidseplein is ten minutes at most. Nick thoughtfully had water and Cokes in the fridge for us and gave us extra coffee capsules because we raved about the Nespresso machine in the apartment. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Travelling Light and I certainly would stay here again. *Those new to Amsterdam should be aware that this is a traditional narrow house with 22 steps up to the apartment and that Van Baerlestraat is a busy street 24/7.
