We're a family of 4 with 2 boys, and we loved our stay at Resalieke and Erik-Jan's home. The apartment (with its own private entrance from the street) was very clean and pleasant. There's a large room looking out on a garden with a kitchen area with a microwave and a good supply of dishes and utensils. The main sofa bed is in this room. A narrow room separated by a glass wall (with a screen for privacy) had a trundle bed with 2 beds that can be moved away from each other.

Our hosts were extremely pleasant--polite and helpful without being intrusive. We felt like we were staying in part of someone's home.

We absolutely loved staying in the Plantage neighborhood. It was such a pleasure. It is much closer to the city center than we expected, and has many good museums and activities in the immediate area. It's a very lively neighborhood with a nice bakery and a number of good, informal places to eat very close. We were extremely happy to be so close to the center of Amsterdam, yet be staying in a beautiful, calmer neighborhood.

If we return to Amsterdam, we would try to stay here again.
