Dionne’s place is wonderful for a stay in Amsterdam. We were in the Starry Night room, with windows to look out on the street. This is immediately off a canal, in a vibrant area, and in a very central location for walking, riding bikes, or catching a canal cruise to tour this wonderful city. Dionne’s studio apartment helps you feel a bit of what it might be like living in central Amsterdam (without having to work, of course). She is a wonderful host. She is honest, helpful, and knowledgeable. Communication with her is easy and timely.
The place was very charming, and just right for what we needed during our stay. The bed was very comfortable, which makes all the difference after a day of walking and touring. All of Dionne’s recommendations were excellent, and very helpful.
The apartment included many thoughtful touches, including a Nespresso coffee machine for the times you may not want to walk down for a cup (although there are many places to grab an excellent cup just a minute or two away). There are good restaurants, small cafes, coffee and tea spots, grocery stores, stores with sweet treats of all kinds, and all you could want within very easy distance.
Dionne also has a room available next door, about the sale size as the one we stayed in. So if you’re a small group (two couples or family with two kids who don’t mind sharing a bed), it seems like getting both rooms would be a good option.
We will look at staying at Dionne’s place again for our next trip to Amsterdam. Thanks again Dionne!
