Gerard’s place is simply amazing. Conveniently located (you can walk anywhere in 10-20 minutes), huge, modern, private, comfortable, everything you need and more (umbrellas included!). State-of-the-art appliances, basics for breakfast (that coffee was yummy, so where the stroopwafles), daily cleaning (thank you so much for the bottles of water - very much appreciated) - so much better than a hotel. Gerard was in every detail, making sure we were ok. You get your private area in the floor - 100% private. It is really almost a separate apartment. Last but not least - there’s an elevator! Trust me, this is a rare find in a city like Amsterdam. When you see the kind of stairs you find everywhere else, you will be incredibly grateful for this elevator. Thank you for your hospitality, Gerard, we look forward to visiting Amsterdam again and staying at your place!
