Guest Reviews

• Junying (10/5): -
• Emily (10/5): Perfect stay - The location was perfect, Karrane was the best host, and there was everything you could possibly need at the property. The beds were super comfortable, everything was clean, we didn't want for anything. Thanks so much for an incredible stay.
• Angela (9/5): Exceptional location and very comfortable apartment - The location was exceptionally good, v close to Leidsplein (and the airport bus drop off) and an easy walk to everywhere we wanted to go; there were some lovely local bars and restaurants alongside the nearby canal and the flat was very comfortable, clean and had everything we needed (and some extra lovely touches). Karanne was lovely and helpful and had left us a few treats (wine, chocs, stroopwaffles, water) which were very much appreciated. I'd recommend a stay at Only Friends. Not a problem at all but it would have been handy to have stored our luggage in the accommodation on the departure day - but the nearby luggage hero was helpful on this which Karanne recommended.
• Samuele (9/5): - Ottima posizione, host simpaticissima e disponibile, struttura pulitissima, servizi pulitissimi. Ben fornita di ogni comodità! Solo un piccolo appunto: al mattino il riscaldamento era spento e la temperatura in camera era..frizzante direi
• Giuseppe Malatesta (9/5): Only Friends, ottima scelta per un soggiorno ad Amsterdam! - Struttura pulita e situata in zona centrale, a pochi passi dai musei principali e da Vondelpark. Tutte le fermate dei mezzi pubblici erano raggiungibili in pochi minuti e ti permettevano di partire alla scoperta dei luoghi più caratteristici intorno alla capitale. Ampi spazi da appoggio e letti comodi. Cucina dotata anche di lavastoviglie che ad Amsterdam non è poco, poiché qualche sera abbiamo preferito cenare a casa. L'host, Karanne, è stata gentilissima e si è resa sempre disponibile alle nostre richieste. Consogliato per un soggiorno ad Amsterdam! La struttura è sottoposta al piano, per cui al suo interno non sono presenti finestre che permettano l'ingresso della luce naturale.

• Jagdeep (10/5): -

• Elke Lore (8/5): Es war sehr schön, mit Fenster wäre es noch schöner gewesen - Die sehr freundliche Begrüßung 👍 Es war Bier und Wasser im Kühlschrank 👍👍 Kaffeekapseln, Dosenmilch 👍👍 Einmalrasierer, Deo, Q-Tip, Kekse und vieles mehr 👍👍 Es gibt kein Fenster 🙁
• Saly (9/5): - Jammer dat er geen daglicht is en geen terrasje.
• Clare (9/5): - This was perfect for our short stay in Amsterdam. Although Karanne wasn't able to meet us in person, she was very helpful and communicative and the check in/out process was very smooth. The location was ideal and we were within walking distance of all the main city attractions. The kitchen was well-equipped and we had everything we needed. We appreciated the coffee machine and the extra refreshments in the hamper and fridge! If we came back to Amsterdam we would definitely stay here again. Thank you!
• Susanna (9/5): The apartment was perfect and ideal for a family visiting Amsterdam. -
• Dalila (10/5): Super wohl gefühlt, perfekte Lag um Amsterdam zu erkunden - Super Betten, kuschelige Bettwäsche, gutes Equipment mit allem was man braucht Dass es kein Fenster gibt, aber das weiß man vorher.
• Adi (9/5): Superb - Very good apartment, well equipped and very nice owners. The location is more than perfect. The apartment is below ground level. It has no windows and it is a bit warm.
• Pavel (10/5): Great apartment!!! - The apartment is clean, the owners did everything to make us feel at home. Everything is within walking distance: restaurants of any cuisine, shops, attractions. we did not use public transport. I definitely recommend this apartment for a short stay in Amsterdam. ❤️
• Alysha (10/5): Exceptional - The host was kind and communicative. So many little touches that added to our stay. We walked to all the main museums (8 min or so) and shops, though you could easily walk to the trams to take you across town. It was great. Just be mindful it is a basement apartment, though upstairs hosts were not loud and we never heard them.
• Stefanos (10/5): Exceptional - Everything was great, karanne was always available, perfect choice for a family.. Excellent position, many things to do around..
• Lindsay (10/5): Exceptional - Excellent communication. Perfect location. Very comfortable beds.
• Amy (10/5): Exceptional - Karanne was a spectacular host! We loved staying in the location where her own family lives. It felt like home! She had it well stocked with any amenities we needed. We had a warm welcome and spectacular communication. We are so grateful to have found this place! The surrounding area is lively, but the noise didn't bother us as the apartment is lower level and cozy and quiet despite being right in the middle of everything.
• Cameron (10/5): Great accommodation matched the great city it’s in. - Great room and great facilities within the room. Nice and clean, Karanne was great and very helpful! Nothing
• Darroch (8/5): Lovely host and great location! - The location was great! The apartment was comfortable, but what made it really good was all the extras included, i.e., coffee, tea, toiletries, milk, beer, and many other thoughtful things. The host was lovely and friendly 😊 If staying in one room with three other people isn't for you, then you should probably get a bigger apartment with more than one room . However, we were out most of the time, so it wasn't a major issue.
• Shaun (10/5): Exceptional -
• Cheryl (10/5): Fabulous property, great location Karanne was an amazing host. Thank you! - The property was clean, tidy with everything you would possibly need.
