I had a great stay in Amsterdam. It was my first trip to the city. The location was ideal. Travel to and from the site was a breeze, just one bus ride to the city center. The room was very nice, clean, and quiet at night. The host also provided lots of information and tips on sites, museums, restaurants and local areas to check out. This was particularly important as I arrived in Amsterdam at the end of a European vacation and without any concrete plans. You would be hard pressed to find a better location; quiet neighborhood at night and walking distance to literally all the important sites. I recommend trying an Indonesian restaurant and a bike rental if you are coordinated and a quick learner to the fast pace of city riding. I also enjoyed the poffertjes and of course the sweet bread for the ride back to the airport. Very kind and thoughtful host!
