My boyfriend and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay in Har’s studio for two. After being accepted to book, we could not wait to get to Amsterdam and enjoy the apartment, and we were not disappointed at all. The apartment is furnished and decorated to a great taste, all of my friends have been asking where I stayed as it looked so luxurious and they wanted to stay there! Our welcome from Har was fantastic – our flight arrived early and he was very accommodating and took in our bags and we went for breakfast whilst he cleaned from the last occupants. And he was very accommodating for us on our last day, we had a late flight home, and Har was kind enough to let us leave our bags whilst we explored the city one last time before our flight home. He really was an excellent host.
The apartment is in a very trendy and safe area of Amsterdam, Overtoom, and there is a plethora of restaurants to fit all tastes and cuisines. It’s also located very close to Leidseplein where much of Amsterdam’s nightlife and shopping are located

The No 1 tram stops right outside the apartment – but despite the apartment being so close, you never hear any of the traffic on the road. The balcony attached to the studio was a massive added feat, and with the brilliant weather we had during our stay we were able to chill at the end of the day with a glass of wine (the bottle of which was kindly provided by Har) and watch the world go by. As other guests had also commented – the bed is the comfiest bed in the world and it went well with the TV that had English speaking and Dutch channels.
The kitchen was also well equipped – Senseo coffee machine, a fridge, hobs and a microwave. If we were to stay again we would fully utilize this kitchen – we used it for breakfasts but never got chance to use for other meals. I also liked the helping touch of teabags, toast sprinkles, jams and cuppa soups – really appreciated. Also appriciated the maps and guidebooks available for use - they helped us alot (and use the minicards - you get 3 euros off the Heineken Experience - biggest discount in Amsterdam).

Overall, my boyfriend and I really enjoyed our stay in Har’s apartment. We were very sad (and still are) to have left as we really enjoyed our stay in Amsterdam. Nonetheless, we will be hopefully staying at Har’s apartment in the future – thank you Har for providing us such a brilliant apartment for a memorable and enjoyable trip.

This was my first time using AirBnb.
