My mom and I spent 5 nights in Maes B&B in early November. I was traveling for work and needed a central location that would allow my mom to sightsee during the times I was away, and I wanted a place where she could ask someone for directions or recommendations without being 'one of the masses' in a 200-room hotel. Ken and Vlad provide a warm, welcoming atmosphere and the opportunity to see the (nicely refinished, modernized) interior of an old Amsterdam house. Breakfast was lovely, the bed was comfortable, and the ensuite bath was a plus. While the room we stayed in at the front of the house is a bit noisy, I am happy to report that Ken and Vlad will be installing new double-paned windows in the near future and this will undoubtedly help. However, I enjoyed being able to watch the activity in the shops on the street below, and since the B&B is on a small one-way street, it does quiet down in the evening so one can sleep easily. If I travel to Amsterdam in the future, I will plan to stay here again. It is an outstanding value for the location, and the hospitality couldn't be better.
