My husband and I had a wonderful time at Lisa & Maarten's the Canal View Amsterdam. The apartment was exactly as shown in the pictures and it was equipped with absolutely everything you could wish for. The location was perfect, only about a 7min walk to Centraal station as well as downtown, with lots of nice restaurants, shops and pubs in walking distance. Maarten was absolutely fantastic and thoughtful and always ready to help with tips and directions, whether it was the best place to get "Poffertjes" or the closest organic grocery store. When we got to the apartment, he gave us a quick "orientation" to make sure that we knew where everything was and how it worked - by the way, I have never seen a more organized "apartment guide" a binder that included everything from the Wifi password to the best restaurants and all the user manuals for any of the electronics and household appliances. Staying at the Canal View Amsterdam was a thoroughly wonderful experience and we'll be sure to be back. As a matter of fact, we're already planning our next stay there.
