Anke and Robert have a lovely airy apartment on the top floor of a new canal house with large windows both north and south. There are some lovely personal touches that make it feel like a home, and at the same time lots of open space to move around in and a great large table for both planning trips and laying out maps, and eating. The apartment is a few minutes from a street with bakeries, cheese, vegetable and grocery stores, and restaurants - so necessities are close at hand and only a few blocks from the boutique shopping areas, and a short walk to all the museums - everything in Amsterdam is within a half hour walk, they are 25 minutes walk to Central Station. Anke and Robert check in to let you know they are at the end of the phone if you need anything. The bus to the airport is right across the street. Any cons? The pictures show the apartment as being larger than it seems in person, however it is amply comfortable and roomy for one, two, possibly even a third. A positive experience for my first airbnb rental. Thank you!
