Jikke’s flat was everything we could ask for in an Amsterdam Airbnb. Overlooking a tranquil canal in the quiet Eastern Docklands neighborhood, it’s only a short bike (or a slightly longer walk) to the city center. Jikke was a thoughtful host, welcoming us with personalized tips for enjoying her neighborhood and city. Check out nearby Brouwerij ‘t IJ (beneath a windmill!) for exceptional craft beer, and Instock for a delicious dinner made from “rescued” food. We will definitely return to Amsterdam, and hope Jikke’s place is available when we do!
