Juliette was an excellent host, and has a wonderful home, we were greeted by her friend Joost, seeing as she was out of the country on business. Juliette gave us perfect instructions to locate her apartment via public transit, the tram went from amstelstation directly to her apartment, it was only a 2 minute walk. Joost was kind and succint with his instructions for taking care of the place and feeding the adorable cat. Juliette left us a bottle of wine, some soda and some dutch stoopwaffles which was a lovely gift, she had maps and everything was simple. Her apartment is enormous, the kitchen was incredible, lovely garden. Nearby grocery store, and the tram takes you straight into the center, you can get off by the rijksmuseum and walk into the old center from there, the apartment far enough outside of the center of town to be quiet and relaxing during the evenings. Juliette is very punctual with her responses to questions before and during our stay, provided all the information we could have needed, even explained stuff that was not necessarily her responsiblilty. Extremely pleased with our stay. 10 out of 10, would reccomend.
