As a grown up family of four, we each wanted our own sleeping space, Jef & Mette’s place is spacious and stylish, well worth the 25 min ride on tram 2, each day.
Amsterdam is wonderful to just wander around and stumble across places along with all the museums etc. From our holiday we can recommend a number of eating / drinking places. Some will require pre-booking, if you can plan ahead. The local pub Van De Stad is great, friendly staff, good food and service. The local-ish Afghan Yalla yalla restuarant / take-away also great. We ordered food in with Uber-eats on two evenings.
Dignita towards the centre, fab brunch café (bookable in advance, they do accept some walk-ins, go early!). Lovely, long, boozy lunch at the Michelin star MOS restaurant fab food - obviously very pricey and strong French / fish-base. Jef & Mette’s recommendation of Bacalar Taco place was awesome. Again needs to be booked ahead.
We also spent a hilarious hour in the ice hotel (birthday treat!).
Travelling back and forth on the trams was really easy, and there are lots of good food shops near the house for home cooking. The house kitchen has everything you could need (we had a chef in our party - so he was happy. And so were we!). I enjoyed making the fresh coffee so much, that I ordered the same espresso pot for myself at home :).
During our stay, the hosts were away on holiday, however communication from booking to leaving they was very friendly and welcoming they were only an email away, and helped with any queries promptly- we would very happily stay in this spacious stylish home again.
