Bas’s place is a great spot to enjoy Amsterdam. The photos are accurate except the space is actually larger than it looks. It is a studio apartment but the bedroom is somewhat private from he rest of the space. The view to the canal and the small bridge across the canal make you feel that you are really in the Netherlands. Bas welcomed us in person and gave excellent directions to find the space. The goodies left in the refrigerator and on the counter for us were a welcome surprise. Bas gave us good information of the stores and restaurants nearby. Communications with Bas were easy and quick. The apartment is close to public transportation, only three stops on a comfy bus from the central train station and walking distance to the station if you ar not carrying much luggage. It is an easy bike ride to all the sights. At the same time it is away from the hubbub of the downtown. We loved being visited by the ducks, a heron, and other waterbirds on the terrace and the canal outside the window. We would certainly stay at Bas’s place again and hope to do so again any future trips to Amsterdam.
