This apartment was great, for a fraction of the price of a decent hotel, we were able to stay in a full apartment, walking distance from all the attractions! My mother and I each had our own space, plus Ferdinand also provided towels, blankets/sheets, and cookware. Other than our own flaws in communicating with Ferdinand, he was amazingly responsive, and took a lot of time to greet us, showing us around the apartment, figuring out parking, and even gave us some delicious caramel waffle Dutch cookies. The apartment was only a 10-15 min walk from our hop on/off bus stop. Everything we wanted to see was within an hour walk of the apartment. If you wanted to take public transportation its less than a 10 minutes ride into the city center. The apartment is only about 5-10 minutes from numerous grocery stores, parks, and restaurants. Highly recommended for a nice, quiet, and stress free stay in Amsterdam.
