The location of Mieke's apartment couldn't be better. Right in the middle of old Amsterdam. It is no more than 20 min walk to all the major sights and museums, many much closer. The only time I took the tram was to the Van Gogh museum (the tram line is about 8 min walk away). The red light district starts at the end of the street so tons of restaurants and shops super close. A few minor additions would round out a great stay--a couple hand towels, some shelf-stable creamer pods for the tea/coffee. I couldn't get the TV to work but a really nice surprise is there actually is a combo washer-dryer (the place is listed as no washer so I packed assuming none). It's unfortunate the city apparently made her disable the stove top, otherwise you'd have a full kitchen but you have everything else you need.
