Firstly, location. Its prime especially for returning visitor to Amsterdam who had enough of the tourist-flocked centrum area, and is looking for a different vibe. There are two parks nearby (which is great for a run or just an evening stroll), and the main street is lined up with upcoming chic cafe, pubs, and even an open-air market nearby (I'm not sure if its open daily). I spend mostly my time around the area but the city centre is just a few minutes away by bike / buses / tram if u prefer.

Then the property itself is way too awesome. It's bright and cozy and there's a balcony. The kitchen is well-equipped though I dont really use it since I rarely cook. The room you'll be staying in have this crazy comfortable bed that makes it difficult to decide whether to enjoy the sun outside or to stay in bed for few more minutes (it got extended to hours sometimes). And there's books. Lots of interesting books.

Chris is an excellent host. Not only he's helpful with recommendation and maps and local tips, but if you got the chance just grab a cup of coffee with him and you'll discover an interesting person with many stories to share.

Any more hospitality and AirBnB should start charging for that.

Thank you for such a fantastic time!
