The Grutto

Great place to stay

Pros: Martha was helpful, helped us with bus things and gave us a history of the area. Great view from the apartment.

Cons: The stairs were very shallow for a big footed guy like me, but all the stairs in Amsterdam were like this! Would have liked a toaster for breakfast. Oh and better weather as it rained for most of the time we were there.

Pros: We loved everything from the moment we turned up to the moment we left the owners were lively and of we needed anything they were very helpful even down to lending us bikes to travel in and out of Amsterdam

Amazing

Pros: The place was lovely so clean and comfortable with an amazing host would go back

Cons: A little bit far from centre however knew that when booking

Great stay in the suburbs of Amsterdam - lovely to leave the busy city but still close and convenient.

Pros: Very clean and comfortable and we loved having use of the bikes included. Beautiful view from the property , helpful host and everything we needed for our stay.

Cons: Nothing!

Perfect

Pros: Apartment was clean and tidy as pictured and in a really good location. The views from the apartment were incredible and it was a lovely quiet place to come back to after the business of the city! Eva was incredibly friendly and helpful when we arrived and we had a great time. Apartment was perfect for us, a group of four, and I cannot recommend enough!

Cons: Everything was brilliant and Eva was a lovely host, highly recommend!!

Comfortable and very pleasant

Pros: Very clean and comfortable with everything you need.

Cons: The stairs is a bit of a challenge (we are seniors) but we knew that when we made the booking.

Magnificent with cosy surroundings

Pros: I loved the cosiness of the apartment and the neighbourhood. THe host helped us with everything, provided us with tips and also had bikes for rent! We could not have done a better choice.

Cons: Maybe as it was not so close to the city centre as expected - thankfully we had a nice weather and walked to the ferry station everyday. THe nice neighbourhood was nice to walk in

Pros: It was very homely and comfortable. We really felt welcomed and happy here.

Cons: All was wonderful

We loved our trip!

Pros: Loved the property itself. Gorgeous and clean. The location was beautiful and peaceful :) Host was very kind and helpful. The coffee machine was amazing! The shower and bath was so good! The pressure of the shower, didn’t want to leave!

Cons: The property didn’t have a tv. As a group we don’t drink or go out clubbing so we like to have a chill evening with the tv on. With where the house was, there wasn’t a lot to go out and do other than a pub or two but we weren’t interested in that. The property is also above the host and we felt really bad going up and down the stairs as we had to go and smoke away from the house. We felt bad because the stairs were creaky and we felt we were disturbing the host. Smoking outside and away from the house was understandable though as it’s a residential area. There aren’t a lot of transport options that is accepted by the 2/3 day travel pass that you get. You have to walk about 20-30 mins to the next available bus that accepts those passes.

Clean, cosy apartment, freindly host

Pros: The host was very freindly and hepful. The apartment was, cosy, very clean and much details were thought of. It has everything one would need for a short stay. The location is a bit outside of Amsterdam, but it was fine for us since we have a car. We had no problem finding a praking spot and it was for free, which is not usual for the city.

Cons: Nothing.
