...Terry, United States, February 2008.
"Thanks it was just what the doctor ordered. A very restful stay. Our greeter was an abundance of information and very welcoming to the apartment. Answered all questions with ease. The highlights, apart from the views were the coffee machine and the very comfortable beds. We knew it was going to be lovely but once there it was even better than expected. We will definately recommend to anyone going to Amsterdam and will most probably be back ourselves"
