Hans was a great host. Very helpful. We like good, hot showers and so we were pleasantly pleased. This is smack in the middle of Leidensplein, but up above it is very quiet. The trams run right by so easy to go anywhere you wish. Hans has many beautiful art paintings throughout his building. This is a good place to get your bearings. The area is touristry, so be aware of this. Just turn the corner and you are on peaceful Prisengracht.
