This was one of my favorite places that we stayed this trip!! Ruben was ridiculously easy to get a hold of (helped us with late night laundry questions, rescued my friend when she locked us out) and check in was a breeze with a coded key box. We never even crossed paths with the other guests in the apt (there's only one other room), and our bedroom was easy to lock, so felt very private. Much better than a private room in a hostel for the same price.
The garden view was unreal. Total oasis. The neighbors were always cooking amazing smells.
De pijp was my favorite area of Amsterdam - so many great restaurants and bars, nearby the museums without feeling touristy, and surrounded by parks and canals. Perfect location to skip some of the touristy partying and central enough to really see lots of Amsterdam.
THANKS AGAIN RUBEN!!!
