I can't say enough about how wonderful Laura and Arjan were. It was like going to stay with friends. They are passionate about helping every guest have a wonderful time in Amsterdam, and they really went above and beyond to make me feel welcome and solve any problem. Airport pick-ups, making my phone work, taking me for a canal cruise with the family, taking me in for an extra unplanned night, helping me out when I suffered a minor accident - nothing was too much trouble. They were so very kind. The house is absolutely beautiful and unique, built in 1657 and one of only two of its kind in the whole city. Laura and Arjan take cleanliness of the apartment very seriously - the place was immaculate and so comfortable. And they provide a wonderful breakfast that will carry you through lunch as well :-) There is an excellent bar and restaurant 20 steps away, a tram stop just around the corner, and a canal right in front of the house, with marvellous views of sunrise. You can watch the sun set over an adjoining canal, from the restaurant. A magical stay.
