I can't say enough good things about a Nienke and her home. The backyard space was probably our favorite part. It's so serene and relaxing. The cats are friendly once they warm up to you. Nienke was so hospitable. She wasn't able to be there for our arrival and departure, but she was very welcoming in her absence and always easy to reach. She left us a map, grapes, chocolate, a bottle of wine--she made our experience truly special. If you're traveling with children, the home is very baby and child friendly. We had a one-year-old girl with us and the toys were very age appropriate. The home is very close to a cute little square with some great restaurant options and is walkable to the metro, which is only a few stops from Amsterdam Centraal. I highly recommend this place when visiting Amsterdam. Thank you,Nienke. This was one of the best Airbnb experiences I've ever had.
