This room is perfect for those that want to be close to everything. Leidseplein is where the local people hang out and it was great to be staying right in the centre of it. There was a plethora of restaurants and brown cafes (aka pubs) within a short distance and a mini market next door for incidentals. It can get noisy at night but the ear plugs that Marja provides work a treat and it's a fair trade off for being so close to everything. We loved that we were staying in a traditional Dutch building and the irregular shaped doors and windows and sloping inwards walls were great. Yet the room was well equipped and modern (with a traditional feel). Thanks Marja (and Joan) for a great few days in Amsterdam.
