My husband and I love this apartment. It is light and cheerful studio with everything you need laid out in a very efficient manner. Madelinde helped us work to retrieve a lost piece of luggage from KLM. The refrigerator was stocked with everything we needed for our first breakfast, and a bottle of wine which we poured almost immediately to decompress after a huge delay from Logan airport. The location is absolutely fantastic. There is a tram stop, a bus stop, a sweet little park, and a lovely cafe - Flinders - all within 2 - 3 blocks from the apartment. This neighborhood is one canal west of Jordaan and it's removed from the super-touristy center. We would be happy to return to this apartment. Note that second floor in Amsterdam = third floor in USA parlance. You walk up two flights of stairs.
