Jolieke and her family have a beautiful house. It is located very close to the beautiful and spacious Westerpark and is about 20 minutes walk from Central Amsterdam. A taxi from Amsterdam Centraal is around €12-15 and takes no more than 10 minutes. There are plenty of shops and facilities close by the house so grocery shopping at sole traders or supermarkets, for example, is easy. There are also bars, restaurants and cool cafes close by to hang out in. Bike hire places are close by, too.
The house is beautiful with a real warm family vibe. It backs on to an outside landscaped courtyard with its own table and seating area. You can sit outside to eat and chat but as it’s a residential area with families and kids, please respect their own living spaces and quiet times.
Jolieke was a great host, communication was excellent and she was more than happy to accommodate our slightly disrupted travel plans. She checked in with us to make sure everything was ok which was nice and check out was easy.
We would definitely stay there again. Highly recommended.
