Location, location, location! This apartment is in a wonderful, quiet part of Amsterdam - and so close to a beautiful park - and the Metro, train and tram lines. We loved listening to the children playing at the Montessori school down the street - and getting to and from places all over The Netherlands was fun and easy. There are also two Albert Heijn’s and a Coop store to shop for food at within 5 minutes walking. I actually enjoyed going grocery shopping! Mosquitoes were a problem with no screens on the windows - which we needed to open for fresh air and cooling (we were there in May and June and it was warm) so come prepared for that. If you like ping pong there is a table about half a block away that you can play on - so bring paddles and a ball.
