“Excellent apartment!!! Excellent location!!!”
| Trip type: Family |
We are just back from a 1-week stay at the Prinx apartments. After searching all the available hotels and B&B's in Amsterdam we finally decided on Prinx studio. But, we were too late to confirm our stay and all the studios were booked before us...
We were dissapointed but accepted Ton&Hector's offer to stay at the 1+1 apartment on Haarlemmerdijk Street. This was our first time in a vacation apartment instead of a 4-5 star hotel so, we didn't know what to expect. But, Ton was so nice and helpfull. As soon as we arrived in the apartment, we were so happy about our choice. The apartment is located on a very lively street with all the stores, restaurants, cafes and pubs. It is very close to the Central Station so it was very easy to get there from the airport by train. A great supermarket, Albert Heijn is right accross from the apartment. It is open daily 8:00 am to 10:00 pm. and offers all kinds of ready-to-eat food, fresh fruits and veggies, bakery. You should definitely try their freshly baked croissents for breakfast.
The apartment is very spacious and has everything you will need. We were not planning to eat much at the apartment but because eating out was so expensive in Amsterdam and it was easier not to look for a place to eat with a two-years-old girl, we ended up having breakfasts and dinners at home. And we enjoyed it so much... Especially when feeling tired after daily sightseeing, we were looking forward to get back to the apartment, sitting by the window and having our drinks. Even our doughter loved it there so much, she didn't want to come back home!!!
By the way, there were 1 set of towels for each person, two rolls of toilett papers, liquid hand wash and a hair dryer in the bathroom. But no shampoos, no shower gel or caps. But you can get them at the store called ETOS, 50 meters down from the apartment. I also ended up getting some napkins and paper towels for the kitchen and some cleaning stuff for the bathroom and toilett (from Albert Heijn).
Also, we realized after settling in the apartment that there were no extra set of sheets. But, if you ask for it in advance, I'm sure it won't be a problem for Ton.
After all, this was a great catch and we have already recommended it to our friends here. Looking forward to going bac
