Jo and Mp were great hosts, and their apartment is absolutely gorgeous and ideally located for exploring Amsterdam. The apartment is very comfortable and immaculately clean - it is just like the pictures but more charming in person! There is a bike shop right around the corner where you can pick up your wheels, or you can easily take the metro or walk to central locations. Half a block away is one of the most lively streets in Amsterdam, with lots of cute, small shops and restaurants. Walk a half block in the other direction and you're on a picturesque canal. It is also a very easy walk from the central station. I really can't say enough good things about this place - I would love to stay here again when I return to Amsterdam :)
