For a ten day trip the wife and I spend just around a $1,000 each. And that covers everything.

the reason im spending alot on hotels and food is because I wanna get my friend not the best holiday she ever had but atleast one of the holidays she will never forget...just want her to be impress haha

Are you not better trying to get an apartment ? im sure that would be a much more authentic stay ! living like a local ! you can pick up apartments from the region of €70-€100 pn not per person although there are more expensive ones if you wish ? the company i use the most is

I booked my apartment through them as well, Cisco and ended up getting 2 nights FREE! We were supposed to check in on Sunday for a week, but I wrote and told them 2 of us would be coming in on Friday, the third on Monday.

I paid for 3 people for the whole week and paid in advance, so the owner of the apartment gave us Friday and Saturday nights at no extra charge - needless to say Blueberry and I were ecstatic because we were going to stay at Rookies to the tune of 170 euro for just those 2 nights. We got an apartment on the Lijbaansgracht for 973 euro. Split 3 ways that's under 500. USD each for 9 days in a nice, smoker friendly apartment with a patio outside the second floor.

There you go ! cant get better than that ! much better than staying in a hotel ! you can dance to the beat of your own drum !

Unfortunately the apartments we were trying to get through them were booked so were at Amsterdam Cribs now , Sativa Townhouse €680 for 4 nights between 4 €170 each ! good times

Yep Cisco - check this place out. Nice big windows that open in front of the canal and a wonderful terrace in the back with a beautiful view.

I stayed in a $65.00 a night 3 star hotel nothing fancy but it came with a free breakfast , don't go by what i spent because most of it was spent in the Red Light District among other things , you can get by on $100.00 a day or less if your a good boy !
