I can't say enough good things about my stay here at Jan-Willem's place!
First off, the apartment is lovely and very well thought out. The large windows catch a lot of sunlight throughout the day, and the patio off the kitchen is a great place to sip some coffee or tea in the morning light. I often found myself staring out the windows across old Amsterdam rooftops and into that trademark Netherlands sky that seems to stretch on and on across the flat landscape.
I did some remote work here during my stay and the setup was perfect, with a nice desk and chair, high-speed internet, and lots of outlets. The bathroom and shower felt new, clean with good water pressure. The bed was comfy and the kitchen had everything I needed to cook a solid meal.
The location is prime, on the border of the De Pijp neighborhood and the city center, both within walking distance. A daily outdoor market was right across the canal to De Pijp, and Cafe Kale was a great spot to get a drink and a bite.
Count yourself lucky if you've stumbled across this gem of a place. I felt so at home here I didn't want to leave :) Thanks Jan-Willem, I hope to return some day!
