We had a lovely time in Amsterdam and really enjoyed staying at Jouri's place! The location is ideal, as the enormous Albert Cuyp market is right down the street and there is so much wonderful international and Dutch food to sample in the neighborhood! Jouri's recommendation for dinner was perfect--an unassuming Japanese restaurant with incredible food. We loved the newly renovated apartment as well. It's fun and unique, with a lot of personality, and it was very clean! The back patio is a lovely place to relax at the end of the day. It's surrounded by greenery and feels like a private retreat in the middle of the city.
