Mike's place is incredible. It's hugely spacious, impeccably clean, and beautifully styled. Mike really has a sense for furniture, art, and decor. Every room is lovely, filled with paintings, books, and character. The roof terrace is another bonus, a quiet outdoor space to hang out.
Mike was very friendly and personally welcomed us into his home. He was very responsive through messaging before and during our stay, and even gave us transit tips to navigate the city during train strikes.
The apartment is in the perfect location in the hip neighborhood of De 9 Straatjes, bustling with restaurants, cafes, boutique shopping, and sightseeing. Everything is walkable or a short bike ride away (with bike rentals available just a few doors over).
One note is that the stairs are VERY steep, which is standard for Amsterdam, but is something to note for those with any mobility issues. Otherwise, I highly recommend Mike's place.
