Highly recommend staying at Eva's place. The canal location was scenic, the neighborhood populated with many shops, restaurants and a supermarket. We liked the proximity to trams and the lovely Vondelpark for evening strolls. Eva was such a lovely host, spending a considerable amount of time helping new Amsterdam travelers situate themselves with an excellent map and other resources. Eva left us a copy of "A-mag" with a recommendation that we read through for local events, restaurant openings, etc. We found the photography museum Foam through that magazine, which was not covered by any of the tourist websites I had reviewed prior to the trip. Spent a few fun hours at Foam thanks to Eva's recommendation. The flat was very comfortable, just as pictured. Perfect for two!
