Really good location as quiet residential area but easy to walk or cycle to the Jordaan area ( 10 minutes) where there are loads of restaurants and shops . Free ferry to North Amsterdam Is only 5 minutes cycle away .
Olivier and his wife were really welcoming hosts who were accessible but not intrusive and they gave us good tips about what to do and where to eat during our stay .
Bikes were a bonus .Even though we were not used to back peddling to brake we quickly got used to managing and really enjoyed cycling around the city .
The studio apartment itself has everything you will need for a city break . We enjoyed breakfasts in the morning sitting outside the house by the water and in the evenings we sat in the lovely communal garden around the corner and enjoyed the world go by on the canal . Had a great time and would recommend.
