We loved our stay at Von's place. The apartment was adorable. We were able to get in early which was great since we were coming from the airport with heavy luggage. We were met with a bottle of wine and biscuits with jam. The beds were comfy. The shower was great. It was nice to have a microwave , refrigerator, iron and hairdryer. There was an electric kettle with tea and instant coffee. The place was always nice and warm. The neighborhood was my favorite of all that we visited. It was fun to watch the locals going about their daily life. It was located just out if the major tourist area. A bit busy during the day but much more laid back than everywhere else in Amsterdam. It is quiet at night and we always felt safe there. A few blocks down the same street is the Westerkerk area with the church and the Anna Frank house. Easy and beautiful stroll through the neighborhood. There are several vintage shops, bars and restaurants on the street and just around the corner are two supermarkets and a coffee shop. Everyone in the neighborhood was so nice and helpful. Most everyone speaks English. It is also about a five minute walk to the tram stop that will take you wherever you want to go. The only thing I would have wished for was an actual coffee maker. My husband and I are big coffee drinkers and that instant stuff isn't so great. The deli on the corner very close to the apartment does make good coffee and it's cheap so that worked for us. We will definitely be back. Do hesitate to book this BnB. You won't regret staying at this home away from home. Thanks Von for such a wonderful experience.
