Location is perfect for families - one set of stairs only (bring light weight strollers). 5 minute walk to Albert Heijn (our fave!) and ALDIs both convenient grocery stores to stock up on food/snacks/diapers etc. Also 5 minutes from bus stop & tram 12 minutes. Quiet peaceful neighborhood and only a 10 minute walk to Rembrandt park which has lots of beautiful green space, playgrounds and farm animals who my kids loved to feed! Also 5 minutes from Mundi our fave coffee shop and Pide Dunyasi (the best pide/pita). This west area is much less touristy & definitely low key vibes. 15 minutes from Ten Katemarkt which we liked much better than the famous Albert Cuypmarkt. Playgrounds everywhere! The only down side were the unusually hot summer nights where we only had one fan to share between two rooms and had to keep windows open so we all had a few insect bites. Having a full kitchen, freezer and fridge made a big difference with kids and saving on eating out all the time. Definitely made our own buttered toast helsegs (chocolate sprinkles). We had an amazing time!
