Lovely apartment in a quiet neighbourhood located near city central. Access to the private and outer gardens was as the pictures suggested. It was a pity that we didn't get to meet Jo and he was out of town, but his neighbour Els was very helpful and welcoming in ensuring that our check-in and out was smooth. Supermarkets and eateries nearby and less than 5 minutes walk from Waterlooplein station if you want to take the metro from Amsterdam Centraal station.
