I stayed here during ADE, my girlfriend and I had a wonderful time. The location is absolutely sublime. A plethora of different restaurants of all prices and cuisine. When staying here you really get the feeling of living like a local and learning to enjoy Amsterdam the way you would if you were born there. Taking a cab or riding a bicycle from this location is great as well. The only negative is the stairs to get in are comically steep and the church across the street has a bell ring on every half hour
