The street itself is really lovely - classic houses and apartments in a very quiet and safe neighbourhood, yet within easy reach of shops, restaurants, public transport and of course, the Amstel river. We were warmly welcomed by Hellen, who supplied maps and brochures of the local area. She had thoughtfully provided an extremely generous amount of fresh food and fruit, as well as cereals etc. The studio is delightful, extremely fresh and clean, and so well-designed - lots of space and light and a modern shower room. The beds are very comfortable and there is a view over gardens to the rear.
