My husband and I spent a week thoroughly exploring Amsterdam for the first time in many years, and Carolijn’s apartment was just perfect. In addition to it being beautiful, clean, very comfortable and filled with nice touches like soaps, maps and restaurant suggestions, the location was superb. Situated on the first floor of a very quiet block, yet very close to a Metro stop and tram line, we were also able to walk when we wanted to the city center, the central de Pijp area and even once to the Jordaan area. We also rented bikes one day from a fabulous store around the corner and biked south along the Amstel River, just wonderful. Area is close to everything but away from the crazy tourist areas. And Carolijn’s communication was excellent throughout. We highly recommend her beautiful flat.
