Home was very welcoming - a nice note and a bottle of wine. Very accommodating in the arrangements, my son was able to pick up the keys ahead of time. House was very clean and comfortable. We really felt the we had had a true Amsterdam experience, so much more authentic than what a Hotel could offer. There was on street parking (type in your number plate at machine and pay for the time you need) which was very convenient. Sitting by the canal just 50 meters away and watching the world go by after some hours sightseeing was very relaxing. Highly recommended!
