Two words: stay here. This large, lovely home is situated in a charming, quiet neighborhood next to the lush greenery of Sarphatipark. Nearly every Dutch told me I was staying in the best neighborhood of Amsterdam. But what made it even more special was the hospitality of Maria and her husband. It's truly hard to not feel at home in their cozy abode. I came right after receiving a scary diagnosis from my doctor and their warmth emanated throughout, when I needed it the most— from delicious dinners to little gifts placed in my doorway when I returned to the Airbnb. Maria also thought of everything that a guest traveling during a time of Covid might need, including a testing kit, pocket hand sanitizer, an umbrella, travel adapters, etc. I don’t know how to thank them, but I plan on paying their kindness forward soon. I will definitely will stay here again if I find myself in the city. Highly, highly recommend.
