Elmar's flat is spacious and tidy. We loved his living room, it was light and airy. Parking was fantastic as it is secured within gates and roomy. The washer and dryer were a plus. The stores right by his place sold everything we needed - fruits, milk, veges, etc. There is a police station right across. I recommend his lovely flat to all.

We had a hard time getting a taxi from his place (there is a local number to call taxis) - we walked a bit to the taxi stand and got a taxi the first evening after 15 min, the next day (a Sunday) we did not get one for almost 40 min. Note that the tram and bus stops are right by his place. He offers bikes which is also great (we didn't use them because we didn't know our way around Amsterdam well enough).
