Pictures don't do Matthieu and Katharina's apartment justice. This is one of the most beautiful apartments I have ever stayed in in Amsterdam. The location, right next to the Zoo in the Plantage neighborhood, is perfect if you want to be close to the action without being in it. The block and surroundings are very quiet and there are some very good restaurants (Box Sociaal, Pizzabakkers, Borrl Kitchen Deli, Sagra Food & Wine) within stumbling distance. M&K left the apartment in sparkling clean condition for me and made sure I had everything I needed. Their communication was great so I never felt any anxiety about check in or check out.. it really was a perfect experience from beginning to end. I can't say enough about this place. Don't hesitate to book it if it is available.
