We had a great 4 night stay at the apartment. The directions that Joke provided were perfect and I recommend taking the train/metro option as it was super smooth. The apartment itself is situated at the very top floor of the house and being in Amsterdam, those stairs are very steep! So pack light if you can! The apartment is nicely decorated and is adorned with little bits of art. The kitchenette was more than we needed and Joke kindly provided a few little bits of food/drink to get us going. There's a supermarket really close by which was very handy on our first day. My #1 recommendation for local spots is Loetje Ost where you can try their fantastic tenderloin steak and gravy...still reminiscing. Thanks Joke for your hospitality and your great recommendations! It was a pleasure.
