Joanneke went out of her way to make our stay comfortable and pleasant. She even met us at an extremely early hour in the morning for our arrival! She is very responsive, kind and communicates easily. Her home is stylish, clean and has everything you could possibly want or need! The neighborhood is fabulous. It is out of the hustle and bustle of the center of Amsterdam yet conveniently located to everything. There is a huge outdoor market on the next street, many many restaurants, shopping, parks, and it is close to public transport. Coming from the United States it was such a wonderful relief to find a welcoming, safe, lovely home. I would highly recommend this home for a family vacation or a place to stay with friends! Keep in mind, the staircases in every home in Amsterdam are steep. This was not a problem for our family, but if someone has limited motion or ability to climb stairs it could be a challenge. For our family, the home was perfect in every way! We would come back and stay again and again.
