Really nice hosts who provide keys to the building and studio which is totally separate from their own living accommodation. Fresh bread and croissants is provided on the first morning (a nice touch) and there are other items such as milk,coffee,tea, jam etc to get you settled. Very clean accommodation.
The location is excellent right in the middle of the bar/cafe scene in de pijp. Everything this buzzy area has to offer is walkable and for those wanting to go further afield Amber pointed us to a bike hire place at 10 euros per bike per day- very reasonable.
It was our 5th time in Amsterdam and in our view de pijp is definitely the best location to stay- close enough to the canal ring and museum quarter to see most of the sites but far less touristy with the cafe culture we love.
We will be back soon.
