We had an amazing holiday in Amsterdam!
Hosts:
Very good communication, very nice people. Nice welcoming presents too! The cat Loeki was super cute with a very calm nature.
Apartment:
Big, clean, spacey, very very well equipped. Especially great kitchen with everything you can think of. Very nice large bathtub too. Lots of light coming in from the windows from every direction. Very good for families with kids, lots of space and many bedrooms.
Area:
The location is brilliant especially for a family holiday. Kind of like Brooklyn in New York: though it's very quick to go the city center, the neighborhood is very calm. There are restaurants and an amazing supermarket very close. We enjoyed the ferry-rides to central station and overall the public transport is very convenient and easy.
There is really nothing bad to say. We had an amazing stay at Maarten's place, and when we come back to Amsterdam we'll try to book it again. Highly recommended!
