  The apartment is very conveniently located about 150 meters from the main train station and walking distance to everything. The design layout is great, even though it is a small apartment. There is ample space to store our stroller upon entering the apartment, the bedroom is separate from the living room and the owners supplied a nice baby cot! We have stayed at a lot of vacation rentals in the past, and this was one of the cleanest! The owners were amazing and so helpful with the booking! There were some previous reviews complaining about the noise level. We are fairly light sleepers (having a 1yr old will do that), but we didn't have any issues with sleeping there. Thanks so much Daniel for staying in your apartment and we will definitely stay there again!

  Stayed here, September 2012. Dan, our guest was great, gave us all the information needed for Amsterdam when we arrived. Place was close to central station and all transportation means, tram, bus, metro. Very clean, perfect in everything for someone with kids, who doesnt care for hotel amenities and likes the independency of an apartment (cooking facilities). Only bad thing, we could not leave the sroller of my 1 year old kid downstairs and had to climb a few stairs with it, each time we came back to the apartment. The best thing is that even if I could not change the reservation dates after I had paid for the apartment, Dan offered to do that for me, so that I would not lose my money. The airline company with which I was to fly to Amsterdam closed down and I could not find tickets for the same dates and Dan was very helpful at that point. Thanks for a great stay, Anastasia

  The owners contacted me prior to my arrival so the apartment would be ready. My flight arrived early. Their assistant, Margaret, was to assist me. She came over immediately & helped me get my luggage up to the 2nd floor apartment. This place is clean. Every couple of days, the sheets were changed & the teas and coffees were replenished. This apartment is in an amazing area, central to everything in Amsterdam. I walked everywhere. Dan & Daniel are both gracious and kind. I hope to return very soon.

  My wife & I recently stayed 3 nights here and were very happy that we selected this apartment after searching on-line. Daniel met us on arrival and was very helpful in fully explaining how everything worked, where to shop for groceries, etc. The apartment was true to what we had expected from our research, it is ideally located being extremely convenient to everything, particularly Central Station which is a one minute walk away! It was very comfortable and had everything we needed. While the bathroom was tight for room, as can be expected with the style of buildings in Amsterdam, it was easily managed and did not detract from the comfort level. We would highly recommend this apartment for a short break such as ours or for a longer stay. If there was a rating for 'very good' we would hsve been happy giving it this rating. Thanks again Daniel

  The directions to the apartment were perfect and we arrived at the sandwich shop below in less than 5 minutes from the train station. The owner of the shop called Dan for us, and he arrived in a few minutes. He gave us a quick orientation, then came back a couple of days later to make sure we had everything we needed. The apartment was as described by other reviewers, in terms of décor and cleanliness. There was plenty of room to store our clothes, the kitchen was very functional (delicious coffee provided) and the bed extremely comfortable (perhaps the most comfortable of any in our travels!). There’s just one issue we had and that was quietness. Nearly all of the reviews mention that the apartment was very quiet. One reviewer even said he was concerned that the street noise would be a problem at night, but double-paned windows prevented any such noise, which they did not. We must be very light sleepers! It wasn’t the street noise, which was clearly audible throughout the day and night (to be clear trams and busses stop running around midnight and resume around 5am and car traffic is super light at night), that we objected to, but the people standing outside the sandwich shop below, at all hours (up until 4:30 & 6:30 a.m.) talking in loud voices. Some appeared to be customers, most just friends of the staff (believe me, we got up to look outside and see what all the commotion was). We mentioned it to Dan and his reply was “this is a BIG city.” We have traveled to many bigger cities and rarely have an issue with being awakened as we were here. After the first couple of nights (I might add that also we were sleeping poorly due to the 6-hour time change), we used ear plugs, and slept okay, but even considered moving to another location though we would have lost our money. In our opinion, the apartment cannot honestly be described as quiet. The location was perfect, with the grocery store a half block away, and the maid service a nice plus, and the noise issue was the only “minus.” All we can say is bring your earplugs.

  Owner response: Hi Cheri and Giancarlo, many thanks for your review and for staying with us and we are glad you overall enjoyed the apartment and its servicing and the stay in Amsterdam. I am sorry that you are light sleepers and that you had trouble with that whilst staying with us. What I can say is this, the apartment is a quiet apartment and this is how most of our guests experience and review the apartment, we have stayed there ourselves and had no trouble sleeping. We have invested in isolation both on walls, windows and doors to make sure it stays quiet. You do have to remember that you are staying in the City Center of Amsterdam and is not in a country house. So if you open the windows and look outside you will notice the beautiful, vibrant city which makes it an exciting place to stay. Your location is where it all happens. Kind regards Dan & Daniel

  The apt was just as described, clean and well maintained. The cleaning lady came every couple days to tidy up and leave towels, and replenish our Nesprsso coffee supplies. The owner popped in several times to check if we had questions, and was very friendly and helpful with suggestions on local attractions, and even for our next stops on our vacation. The location is close to the Central Station, and a great location to access all the sites in Amsterdam and close by. It is a busy tourist focused area, full of hotels, restaurants, cafes, bars, and shops. The apt is very quiet with the windows shut, and when you step out your door you are in the hub of activity. We walked everywhere, but the buses and trams are close by for those that want to use them.

  Owner response: Thanks for staying with us Joyce and Bob, indeed the location is perfect for visiting all the sites because you can get anywhere in just a few minutes. The building is built out of solid thick isolated walls and we have isolated both windows and the outside door to ensure the apartment stays quiet even though you are located right in the City Center. Regards Daniel and Dan

  We absolutely loved the apartment. It is in a perfect location - close enough to everything. We could walk to so many places, and public transportation is very handy (any confusing). The apartment itself is great. Very roomy, and a well-appointed kitchen. We prefer not to go out for breakfast, so we made omelets every morning. That worked out perfectly. The weather was pretty nasty one of the days,so it was nice to be able to hang out in such a nice apartment. If we are fortunate enough to make a return trip to Amsterdam, we will definitely be staying at this apartment. Thanks for your hospitality, Dan and Daniel!!

  Owner response: Thank you James, always really nice to have guests share their good experiences. We will gladly see you again in Amsterdam! All the best, Dan

  We loved this apartment. It was our first time in this amazing city and we can't wait to return. The apartment was immaculate with all kinds of thoughtful items that one would need. The location was convenient to all Amsterdam has to offer. We walked everywhere and so enjoyed the kind, friendly Dutch people who are delightful. Dan is fabulous...met us on the street, helped us get our bearings and is such a nice person. This experience would be a treat for anyone.

  The apartment is perfect for two people, easy walk from Amsterdam Central Station. We arrived after a long flight to a perfect apartment for our first ever visit to Amsterdam. Just around the corner there is a great bakery and a supermarket. We appreciated all the information our host gave us on how to get around the town and see everything. Daniel gave us some tips, amongst others to go to the hidden church in the red light district. We probably would never have known about it, unless he told us. It gives a great cultural perspective on Amsterdam. Amsterdam is an amazingly easy city to get around on the tram and foot. Not even 100 yards away was a fantastic restaurant, Van Speijk. The apartment had everything you could need, so we called it home. We recommend everybody to stay here. Thank you Daniel and Dan!
