We really enjoyed our stay at this apartment. It was comfortable, extremely clean, and stocked with everything we needed. Our hosts, Jose & Beke, were so hospitable! In addition to being very responsive to all of our questions, they made us feel right at home with flowers and a great bottle of wine. The kitchen was stocked with all the basics and the bathroom, which had lots of towels and toiletries, was spotless. The washer and dryer came with its own guide book and laundry soap was provided. There are blackout shades in the sleeping area and the mattress is very comfortable. It's a little funky getting in and out of bed, but we figured it out! Even better, this apartment is located in De Pijp, an area that is very vibrant, but the apartment is on a quiet street and when you are inside, you don't hear any city noise. The garden/sitting area in the back is tranquil. There were three grocery stores within a block, many restaurants and easy access to transportation, museums, and parks. Best of all, it's just steps from the Albert Cuyp Market, where you can get everything and anything you might ever want. I'm almost sorry to leave such a rave review, because it would suit us better if this place remained a secret! We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Dankuwel Jose & Beke!
