Carla

It was a wonderful return to Amsterdam and to Carla’s place! My second stay went smoothly and everything went just as planned! Billie & Kaatja are wonderful kittens who have been nothing but sweet and lovely to me. Even though we’ve had some very hot days, the heat didn’t feel nearly as bad inside Carla’s apartment as it did outside. I could bike anywhere from the apartment, and the city centre was just 10 minutes away by bike, which was incredibly convenient :) I absolutely love Amsterdam and the Noord neighbourhood, and I can’t wait to come back!

We were so happy to visit Amsterdam and take care of the three adorable cats. Carla and her wonderful daughters are amazing hosts. They welcomed us warmly with freshly made muffins upon our arrival, left us food, and provided all the important information, along with excellent recommendations for local spots and restaurants. The cats became friendly with us right away, two of them were super active and loved to play. We kept the outdoors accessible at all times and they were never shy about asking for cuddles and attention, which we were happy to give. The neighborhood is quiet, friendly, and full of beautiful parks and forest areas, where we spent a lot of time birdwatching. When the girls returned, they gifted us souvenirs from their trip to India! Altogether, it was truly a lovely trip filled with wonderful memories.
