We didn't meet the owners of the house but we met his friend who was welcoming and I felt welcome there. It was clean and bright there, he also bought us a bottle of wine and he remembered that I didn't drink alcohol so he bought us soda too. The neighborhood is great, no loud noises and no traffic. It is just in front of the canal and a boat rent on the other side. It takes you only few minutes to walk to a street with a lot of restaurants and bars, you can walk everywhere from there and the tram stops near the house. Also the neighbors cat came over a few times, that was really fun, it felt like home.

The owners were quick to answer any texts and we also got his friends phone number and called him when we had questions, he helped us with a lot of stuff and was quick to answer too.

It was clean, bright and a good apartment. I recommend this place and I will definitely stay there when I visit Amsterdam again. Great stay!
