Wonderful place and great host!!
Close to everything, well, we walk to everywhere from Ad's place. I didn't even rent a bike. It's a 1 min walk to Albert Cuyp Market or supermarket, 5 mins to my favorite The Sea Food Bar and 2 brunch places: The Little Collin (just around the corner) and Baker&Roster. Tons of great restaurant to discover, tons of interesting antique shops.
I also zigzack walk to the center of city, can't believe it is so close, and by foot actually gets to discover more cute stores.
Ad welcome us in person, he's very warm and explain everything. Left us with 2 set of keys, which is very thoughtful, coz I'm having fun in the city with my son and my husband will be in his business meeting all the time. He even left us with a few metro cards so we don't need to buy the card for a few euros. This is really thoughtful of him.
The apartment! Wonderful!! Beautifully decorated, and very functional in every aspect. It's a real home to just bring your luggage. I love those afternoon I just chill on sofa, or evening have a glass of wine in the balcony.
Was a spectacular 7 days in Ad's place.
+++++recommend to anyone coming to Amsterdam!!
