We have just returned from a short trip to Amsterdam. This is the first time we have stayed at a B & B but it won't be the last! Not only was the room and bath the largest we had ever stayed in; it was also the best price we have paid for excellent accommodations.

Ken & Vlad are superb hosts and their advise on nearby restaurants provided us with a number of superb dinner choices at quite resonable prices.

Our room was quiet (as returning vsitors we purposely reserved the garden view room in the main house as it looks out into a grden rather than a street, although the street is very quiet as well.). Best bathroom and bath we have ever been in in AMS. Lovely to have a jacuzzi bath after long walks around the Jordaan.

We agree with the other reviwers that this is one of the best choices for cozy and affordable accomodations in AMS.

Brilliant stay at Maes. Vlad was very welcoming and ccaried our bag up the VERY steep stairs to our room at the top. He talked to us about the accomoadation, things to see and a really excellent restaurant (which we sampled one evening). The accomodation was easy to find, we walked from the station. It was central to most places and the tram was easy to use for places which were further away.It was our first stay in Amsterdam but we will be back in the not too distant future and hopefully be able to stay at Maes again.

Maes Bed and Breakfast is a wonderful place to call home when you are in Amsterdam. It is located on a side street between two canals. Walking distance from the tram stop (just 10 minute walk form the central train station) Great breakfasts, comfortable beds and very friendly owners. Vlad and Ken are very kind and very helpful guiding us with things to do and great suggestions for food.
We stayed 3 nights with our family. I hope to return to amsterdam in the future and will stay at the Maes again!

We stayed at Maes for 3 wonderful nights in Amsterdam and could not fault a thing. The room we had was extremely clean with plenty of personal and welcoming touches, the breakfast spread was amazing but most of all the welcome was warm. Vlad was friendly, polite and efficient, a taxi was arranged for us from the airport and Vlad was there to greet us on arrival even though it was quite late. We received plenty of local knowledge on transport and suggestions for sightseeing and eateries. Maes was within walking distance of everywhere and a good mix of quiet location but with a buzz not far away. The B&B was in a traditional Dutch building so you got an idea of how the locals live, however Vlad and Ken have decorated them in a style that is top notch, we shared an amazingly well stocked kitchen with other rooms in the house and even had a lovely roof terrace for us smokers! Ours was a standard double room which we found superior to many places we've stayed in Europe, if we get a chance to go back we will definately try the deluxe suite with jacuzzi, given the level of accommodation in a standard room the deluxe suites must be really decadent. Thanks again Vlad for your amazing hospitality and warmth, your experience in the B&B business is apparent.
Cheers
