After a day of travel we were greeted by Manthos, a cousin of Eva's. Gracious and sincere, Manthos brought us in out of the cold. His warmth and friendly nature were perfect. Then, their friend/associate,Tom, came to help get us up the stairs and settled in. Tom's electric personality and down-to-earth approach brought smiles to all of us. The flat is on the third floor, making it warmer and with a better view. If climbing stairs is not appealing, you shouldn't go to Europe. There are stairs everywhere.
The flat is spacious, modern, and a very comfortable blend of hotel and someone's home. Eva provides top-notch bed linens and a full array of bathroom goodies. I would always like a bigger bath towel when I travel Europe. Wifi was quick, easy, and solid.
Every part, the pre-arrival, the arrival, the stay, and the check-out were just great.
And, if you've never spent New Year's Eve in Amsterdam...well then, you've never really seen the potential of ringing in the New Year.
My only regret is not getting to meet Eva. I'm about ready to reserve for 2018!!! Maybe I'll meet him next time...
