WoW! Thank you both so so so much for a lovely weekend! A wonderful and peaceful town house only minutes from the metro and a great location for walking all over Amsterdam! We both really appreciated the extra bits that made it feel like home, the large free standing bath, the spa goodies and the god send of the nespresso when we were trying to get up early (which we did not as it was so peaceful!) We would both love to come back to Amsterdam soon and would recommend wholeheartedly staying with Maria and Franz, so unbelievably friendly and willing to help out with plans and reccomendations ... which were all great by the way! We initially wondered about the location but it is absolutely perfect. The canal is at the side of the house to walk down into amsterdam in ~30mins and all along the way are small restaurants and bars and beautiful views of the canals along the way. For the lazy days the metro around the corner takes you to Central in 7 minutes or so and just over 10 minutes door to door. Next time would love to go to more restaurants and reccomendations from Maria and Franz as the all turned out to be absolute gems. There isn't really anything negative I could think of except not spending time there! Thank you once again - Mike and Francesca xXx
