We are a family of three and spent two weeks at Hans’ Amsterdam apartment. The communication was excellent and he was incredibly detailed oriented.
Hans met us immediately when we were dropped off by taxi and showed us around and gave us the most in-depth recommendations and instructions that we have ever had in the 15 years we have been doing VRBO. He also had fresh flowers in the living area, apple pie in the kitchen, and delivered strawberries mid stay with new linens. It was a very nice touch.
One of the nicest things was that he had three transportation cards waiting for us with money already loaded on them. We just had to leave them at the end of our stay with a similar amount left on them. Pay it forward, so to speak. These cards were so convenient for the trams, metro, and trains. The stops/stations were a 10 - 15 minute walk along the river and took you to the center of Amsterdam or anywhere you needed to go.
The apartment worked well for us but it may not be good for those who have mobility issues. It has one typical steep Dutch staircase to enter. The neighborhood is quiet and very safe with a drugstore, restaurants, and grocery nearby.
Thank you, Hans, for making our vacation to Amsterdam and the Netherlands easy and stress-free!
