Quiet residential neighborhood with a good coffee & pastry place on one corner, a great cafe with a broad menu in the next block, and a neighborhood beer pub in the other direction. This was a wonderful extension to rest and relax after our 3-week river cruise before departing for California.
Easy walk to the Central Station. Marqt on Haarlemmerstraat 165, grocery market that only accepts plastic (no cash) has wonderful cheeses and is only a modest walk across the pedestrian bridge (down a block from the barge).
The kitchen was well-equipped with cooktop, good-sized refrigerator, necessary dishes and glasses, flatware, cookware, etc. Pod coffeemaker produces a good cup after about 30 seconds to warm up machine.
While the bathroom is a bit cramped, the shower is spacious and wonderful. I found it easier and faster to use the galley kitchen sink to wash up and brush teeth.
