We stayed at this place last October, while meeting up with friends from the UK. It was my mom's first trip out of the country and we couldn't have chosen a nicer place to stay. The accommodations were clean, beautiful and close to everything and Lynn was great to us for our whole stay. Needless to say, I hope future trips out of country measure up, because now my mom thinks everywhere in Europe is this great!
Thanks to Lynn for a memorable weekend and for being such a gracious hostess. |

I stayed at Lynn's place with my two colleagues for one week last September. My companions stayed there one year earlier, and they strongly recommended the place. Although we were at Amsterdam in bussines purposes, we had some time to discover the city between working hours. The location of the apartment is exellent, the city is in walking distance and there are couple of tram lines going nearby. The atmosphere of Jordan is exellent and there is a supermarket / outside market and couple of cafes / bars pretty near.
The aparment is very nice, comfortable and clean and the region is quiet. We often thought that we were the only people staying up late and making up noise...
Lynn, the owner is wonderful and very caring person, you can rely on her in any case. We will certainly come again.

| We loved Lynn's place -- it was a wonderful home in Amsterdam for us. We spent a week there in January 2009. Lynn was very welcoming and helpful -- even had a local mobile phone we could borrow. The apartment is large by Amsterdam standards. We were five and were very comfortable. The kitchen is large and well equiped with a lovely wooden table. There are local markets and grocery stores nearby. We ate breakfasts at home, left for a day of walking, exploring and site seeing and then returned in the evening and made dinner at home. It is a great savings to be able to prepare two meals a day at home, only eating out for lunch. The house and the street are quiet and in a fabulous area, the Jordaan. And, we were able to walk everywhere from there. We would love to go back and I would highly recommend Lynn's place to people planning a visit to Amsterdam, particularly families. |

| An adventurous family of 3 stayed in this lovely, spacious apartment for a week. It was a wonderful home base for exploring Amsterdam and surroundings. Lynn was very helpful and happy to share her neighbourhood recommendations. We all loved the spacious kitchen and my daughter read a few books swinging in the hammock in the solarium. Ideal for a family with older children - there's a great deal of space and lots of cozy nooks. |

We stayed in Lynn's place over Queen's Day (biggest holiday of the year) week and had a great time. The apartment was more than big enough for the four of us.
Some points:
--Very clean.
--Very comfortable beds.
--Very quiet at night. I stayed a week and remember only a couple cars on the street. It's so quiet I could hear rider's bike tires on their way down the streets. To be honest, I was often worried that we Americans were the loudest people on the street when we came home at night.
--Big, roomy and comfortable sunroom, living room, dining room and bedrooms.
--Lynn is a very gracious host.
--Two blocks from a great bakery for breakfast.
--Saturday and Monday offer a great open-air market three blocks down for food, sundries and many other items.

We rented Lynn's apartment for a 10 day stay in Amsterdam to celebrate my 50th birthday and hope to go back again for the big 6-0! We loved the Jordan, and enjoyed staying in a real neighborhood and not a tourist district. The Jordan is in walking distance to many area attractions, and bus/tram service is nearby. Local shopping, outdoor markets, and great places to dine are just a short walk in any direction. The local pub across the street gets busy on the weekend, but everyone was very friendly with good cheer!
The apartment is a home, filled with a personal collections of fun things. It was nice to stay in a home, than a commercial rental (I work for Marriott).The kitchen is large with a big dinning table and has everything you need to make a wonderful meal after shopping for local foods at the market or our favorite, outdoor street markets. The bathroom is very nice a with lots of hot water.
Lynn was the best. When my partner fell ill, (a condition resulting from the long flight that set his inner ear our of wack), Lynn walked with him to her doctor and got him in right away. We cannot thank her enough for her help and saving our vacation.

My son, a girlfriend of mine and I have stayed at Lynn’s. We are returning again this month with my granddaughter. I can recommend Lynn’s as a nice place to stay, secure and conveniently located to explore Amsterdam. We walked to the city metro and visited our favorite places (museums and galleries). There is a pub across the street that sometimes has live music and is good to hoist a pint. It is a quiet neighborhood for the density of living. We did not find the pub a problem, and considered it a nice part of the colour of Amsterdam.
We found Lynn to be a generous host and cheerfully volunteered information on the city. I have been to Amsterdam many time and her place is my favorite.
For years I traveled for work and now for fun. But I am very particular where I stay. My criteria is clean and safe. Next I prefer local accommodations. I don’t expect to live American and indeed prefer local experiences. Lynn’s meets my requirement and I am very comfortable there. I expect to continue staying at Lynn’s when in Amsterdam.
On a final note. I originally found Lynn through VRBO (Vacation Rental By Owner). I have used this group for years in many countries and have never been disappointed. I have either been incredibly luck or they have effective screening.
Good luck and enjoy your stay.
