My partner and I travelled to Amsterdam for 5 days, mainly for the Amsterdam marathon. We had a lovely stay at Emil's place, who is an excellent host.
Already before we arrived Emil sent me instructions how to get to his apartment from the train station. When we arrived, he was there to welcome us and showed us round the flat. He then gave us suggestions where to go for a run in the area, where to hire bikes and which restaurants to go to for meals out. We were given a shelf in the fridge to ourselves, which was very convenient with Lidl literally just around the corner.
The apartment itself is very comfortable and stylish. Our room came with a very comfortable double bed (we slept really well!) and plenty of storage space for our clothes. The bathroom is big, clean and the shower was excellent. The kitchen is fully equipped, we prepared all our breakfasts there - from simple Muesli bowls to warming up croissants in the oven. Emil also provided tea and coffee.
The location is excellent, with about 5 min walk to a tram stop, from where frequent trams travel to the centre via the Museumplein. It was also really convenient for us, because on the marathon day we could walk to the Olympic Stadium in 30 minutes. On top of that, the balcony outside the front door offered a great view on the city.
