This is a fabulous location for families. Very quiet, safe neighborhood close to a park, largest open air market in Europe ( Albert Cuyp), and many excellent restaurants - our daughters loved the pizza just down the street for take out. The neighborhood is very visitor friendly. Parking Tip: park at the Olympic Stadium and train in to the De Pijp area. Then walk or rent bikes if you are adventurous. The train receipts you present upon leaving the stadium - you will get substantial savings in parking. Like next to nothing. Enjoy this location. A nice retreat from the busy crowds when you want family to rest after long day.
