My husband and I finally had the last leg of our Eurotrip in Amsterdam and we wanted the experience to be as relaxed and as laid back as possible. After going through a packed itinerary, trying to see all the top spots in the destinations we visited, it was important for us to find a comfortable and clean place within the city. Karin's property exceeded our expectations. We had a difficult time locating it at first since the city is undergoing a major upgrade in its public transpo services thus certain roads are inaccessible. Using google maps for transportation direction was a mess. The house numbers also weren't helpful since they weren't in sequential order. The locals in the neighbourhood were helpful however and gladly pointed us at the right direction. Karin welcomed us and personally oriented us about her property and amsterdam in general. She was cheerful, smart, warm and friendly. She offered us valuable inputs on the activities to do and places to visit. The property was spacious and comfortable in every way. It had a separate entrance from her home so there were no privacy issues. She also brought fresh bread and juice each morning for breakfast so you had something to look forward to upon waking up. The neighborhood itself is impressive as it had an open market and its lined with the not-so-touristy restaurants and coffeeshops which further gives it the authentic local feel. We would definitely recommend it and come back the next time we get a chance to visit Amsterdam again.
