Michael was waiting for us to arrive and helped us up the stairs with our luggage. The apartment was exactly as described - but the description doesn't indicate what a lovely street it is, how close the no 2 tram is, for access to Amsterdam's atteactions, and the number of great eating places within easy reach, including the one at the end of the street and righr on a canal. Michael made sure we knew how to operate essentials like washing machine and dryer! He made us feel very welcome - and we would highly recommend a stay in his great aoartment as we thoroughly enjoyed our 5 nights there.
