Carlijn’s home is an amazing place to stay in Amsterdam. It worked really well for our family of four - the space was exactly as represented, very clean, quiet, and comfortable. The rooftop terrace was an extra perk and was a great place for an evening cocktail and seeing the city skyline.
The location was perfect by combining an easy commute to important sights without being in a touristy area. We enjoyed exploring the area and Carlijn’s suggestions for nearby food/drink were excellent. Nearby you have a large market, park (was a hit with our kids), zoo, restaurants, grocery stores, and brewery (we had a great visit). Everything else in the city can easily be accessed by bike or tram/bus station that is steps away from the door and the train station is only a 3 minute walk. Since the train to Amsterdam Centraal is only one stop (6 minutes), you can quickly be on your way to anywhere in the region for a day trip or even a weekend in Paris.
Carljin was super responsive and helpful with her communication, answering all questions and requests before our arrival. The check-in/check-out process was very convenient and we felt extremely comfortable in her home - would definitely stay here again and recommend to others.
