Loved the Netherlands, the charming city of Amsterdam, and the chance to have our car safely parked in direct view, ready for an amazing road trip which we would highly recommend: Keukenhof, the windmills at Zaanse Schans and a drive across the dyke.
Overall, 4.5/5 (but purely because there are always unique locations!) and would definitely look up Joek when we're back. Thanks for everything!

=========
THE GOOD:
* Very clean apartment, actually better than the photos.
* Loved the kitchen setup and how much equipment it has.
* Great garage arrangements, would highly recommend to any German colleagues who drive to the Netherlands. Liked to have a view of our car from bed.
* Joek was very friendly and responsive at all times, and nice details like the bottle of wine, or leaving us the full basket of fruit.
* Perfect location for us - close to shops and amenities, and going into town really was a 5min walk and 11min train ride.
* Quiet during most of the day, very comfortable bed, good night sleep.
EVEN BETTER IF:
* A small investment in a bit more storage space in the bedroom and bathroom would not hurt, but not a big deal.
* The wall arrangement and thickness means that when there are people/kids moving around upstairs or other residents leaving through the main door it is very audible. But nothing you can do about it and as I said, pretty quiet most of the day, so no big deal.
