My husband and I LOVED this room!! I cannot express how cute and welcoming it felt. We found it hard to leave the room at times because it was just so cozy. It is more like a little studio apartment with all the essentials, including an ensuite bathroom, coffee maker and tea kettle, dishes, small refrigerator, blow dryer, and a very nice added touch of wine and other goodies. The bed is quite large and very comfortable. The neighborhood is fantastic. It is right on a canal with a bench out front to enjoy the lovely view. It is a quieter area, especially compared to some of the more bustling parts of the city, which we definitely appreciated. We still found it helpful to wear our earplugs at night to drown out the small amount of street traffic. We did not find the need to use any public transportation as everything is in walking distance. Most museums were about a 15-minute walk, and there are many bars and restaurants just down the street. We walked all over that city! If you want to be easier on your feet, there is a tram stop close by and the system seemed easy to use. Bicycles are also very accessible and a popular means of transportation or just for enjoying the city. Dorien was such a pleasure to deal with. She helped with tips on places to go and getting to/from the airport and train station. She also coordinated a cab for us the morning of our departure. We got to meet Maurice briefly as he came home from work one day. What an incredibly friendly couple. Having such a lovely room with such kind and gracious hosts truly made our first trip to Amsterdam very special. We hope to return some day and would undoubtedly stay here again. Highly recommend!
