The best B&B in Amsterdam!
“The couple who run this B&B are by a long stretch the two most hospitable, friendly and just all round lovely people we have had the pleasure of staying with on our 10 week trip through Europe.
If you really want to do something to return their lovely hospitality I suggest you book through their website rather than booking.com or TripAdvisor. They will appreciate that.”

Très bon séjour dans une superbe maison
" + Tout. Et plus que tout, l'accueil de Kitty et Ralph. Ce sont des personnes adorables qui prennent le temps de donner toutes les informations utiles pour votre séjour. Kitty prépare tous les matins des petits déjeuners délicieux, abondants et variés. Et on part, reposés et réconfortés pour une visite de la superbe ville d'Amsterdam et ses quartiers et ses maisons pittoresques où il doit faire bon vivre. La décoration des chambres est géniale et le coin est très calme, loin du centre ville bruyant la nuit. Métro et tram à 200 m vous permettent de rejoindre le centre ville en 15 mn chrono. Merci Kitty et Rhalf, nous reviendrons !"
