We have just completed 20 days in Sander's hospitable condo and have nothing but raves to report. The view over the Amstel gave us hours of pleasure. The condo is beautifully equipped - everything one needs to cook and entertain. Shopping is just across the bridge at a fine Albert Hein. It is walking distance to two tram lines and metro and to an endless selection of restaurants. On the days we had a car, we parked in the rear of the building - free from midnight to 9:00. We were not prepared for the 21 outside steps but we managed fine. Finally, Sander is a joy - entirely helpful and accessible. We recommend Amstel without reservations!!!!
