This couldn't have been a better experience for our stay in Amsterdam! I was with my husband and our two teenage daughters, and the accommodations worked out extremely well. We had just come off a 12-night cruise at the Amsterdam port, and the hosts were gracious enough to let us drop off our luggage at the apartment before the official check-in time. I'm sure this is not a guarantee, and is dependent on the availability of the apartment, but it worked out really well for us! We dropped it off and enjoyed the city until receiving a notice that the apartment was ready. What a gift not to have to deal with our luggage for that time!The location is wonderful, with a beautiful park within steps of the door, and the famous outdoor market in very short walking distance. There are metro stops in short distance, and it is also easy to catch a tram. We went all over the city, and always enjoyed having a great place to land back at the apartment when our adventures for the day were done.The apartment itself had everything we needed, and I would return there in a heartbeat!
