“absoltely recommendable, perfect & calm location near Amsterdam”
This B&B “De Schulp” in Amstelveen really is a special place! Caroline is an extraordinary host and makes the stay at the apartment wonderful. Breakfast is gorgeous: croissants, fresh rolls, (varieties of) eggs, fruit, muesli, cheese and vegetables. Plus freshly squeezed orange juice,… Even before arrival, Caroline informs about the location and helps with useful advice (like booking modalities of the different Amsterdam museums). This was absolutely nice! At arrival, we even got a birthday cake! In addition, there is a fridge (with freezer compartment) – so buying cheese for home is no problem, for example, and Caroline offers drinks as a welcome as well! I liked the fully-equipped kitchenette though we have not made much use of it. There is a Nespresso coffee machine and everything there from corkscrew, lighter and scissors to an absolutely sufficient number of plates, cutlery and so on. And just in case: I had the feeling that Caroline is available 24/7 for her guests and she will organize whatever is missing 😊 The bed is very comfortable and the wardrobe spacious. We could even store our emptied suitcases in there so they were not in the way. Besides, everything was absolutely clean. The B&B is located in a private, calm neighbourhood and the car can be parked on the property safely. The apartment has a separate entrance and also a terrace which is separated from the rest of the garden by hedges – so you can enjoy a very private atmosphere. The next tram stop is just a five minute walk (Onderuit) and you can either take the “5” directly to the “Museumsplein” or “25/5” via “Zuid” to the central station. This is very convenient. Don’t forget to install the “9292” app for buying the ticket online if you do not (want to) use ApplePay or if your bank card does not support mobile payment. Caroline helped us find some nice restaurants and you can rely on her advice! Thanks once more! In short: Absolutely recommendable and a place to come back!

“Great place, good quality and an attentive host. Recommended and would stay again.”
Caroline is a great host who puts her guests first with several personal touches such as drinks in the fridge. She was so helpful providing information about the area. The accommodation is stylish yet comfortable. The bed was very comfortable! Everything was very clean and tidy and a lot of care and thought put into the facilities. Breakfast was fresh and delicious with plenty available. We liked the fact that our car was safely off the street. Although we drove to Keukenhof we took the tram into Amsterdam which was cheap and easy. We would happily recommend this accommodation.

“Exceptional stay”
Caroline was an amazing host. She went out of her way to make our stay comfortable and enjoyable. The breakfasts were scrumptious, and so beautifully presented. Caroline was happy to share information to help us navigate the city. She went out of her way to book tickets for us. and make reservations. The unit was spacious and inviting, with all mod cons. It was an exceptional stay.

“Great B&B with a lovely host - would definitely recommend”
Me and a friend stayed at Caroline's accommodation for 4 nights, and from the moment I booked our stay, Caroline was helpful and attentive. When we arrived at the B&B, she was welcoming and kind. The accommodation is in a quiet, leafy area, around 20 to 25 mins by tram to Amsterdam city centre, with the tram stop a few minutes walk away, so convenient for getting to tourist attractions while still being peaceful. The accommodation is lovely, clean and the bed is really comfortable. The breakfasts Caroline provided were great. She was always willing to go the extra mile to make sure her guests have what they need. We even met her family and were given home made biscuits. All in all, the best Air BnB I've stayed in.

“A wonderful experience”
Caroline was such a kind and friendly host, she gave us the best recommendations for everything we needed and treated us with great patience and care. the place itself was pretty and exeptionally clean, it was quite spacious and had a nice little graden outside. The location was good too, we made it into the city centre by bike every day, but there is also great public transport within short walking distance. The breakfast was so delicious, of high qulity and with a wide range. Overall the attantion to details was unmatched and you could really tell everything is well thought of, we had a wonderfull exeprience and it truly was the best accommodation we stayed at during our trip.

“Total relax”
First of all sorry Carolina for the delay :-) The structure is consistent with the description offered, the tranquility is amazing. Easy to reach both the center of Amsterdam with tram 5, it is recommended to use multi-day passes with GBV, and the center of Amstelveen where there is a good shopping centre. Caroline's willingness to help you organize your stay is excellent, as is the excellent breakfast that Caroline prepares for you every morning. I highly recommend the facility.

“Modern comfortable stay in Amstelveen”
The host Caroline if very friendly and attentive, she did everything to make us feel like home. The apartment itself is wonderful: clean, modern, ecological. There is also a garden in case you want to enjoy your cup of coffee outside. We didn’t use the kitchen, but it was equipped with everything you need for a short stay. Really recommend staying here!
