Perfectly located ground floor flat in an attractive part of the Jordaan. 20 minutes by taxi from Schipol (30 euros fixed price for 4 people with 2 cases from Melody taxis 00316 23927119). Two bedrooms each ensuite and a kitchen/dining area. Light and airy though the back bedroom has a ceiling fan to circulate air rather than it’s own window. The bottle of wine and the biscuits were very welcome. A pint of milk would have been a nice additional touch. I might have moved the single TV into the kitchen/dining area rather than leave it in the back bedroom, but perhaps that is being picky (we were too busy seeing the sights to watch it).
We walked everywhere and never for more than 30 minutes. Great breakfasts at Moods Corner, Koffiespot, Brandmeester, with superb coffee at the latter two and at Coffee Company. Fine dining at L’Invite (less than 5 minutes walk). rustic Italian at Locanda and atmospheric bistro at Olivar’s, canal side in the Red Light District. Rijksmuseum and Van Gogh museum within striking distance. We enjoyed the Amsterdam Cruise experience, the Ice Bar and the Heineken Brewery Tour. We fell foul of new online ticketing arrangements for Anne Frank but did manage to get to the Holocaust Museum.
The banana routine and the big black policeman were worth the ticket price alone at Casa Rossa, while the spacecake at Green House (as recommended by our AirBnB host) had the desired affect, albeit two hours later when we were on the way to the airport! All in all this was a great three nighter.
