The harbour area if close enough to central station to walk, and if you ignore google maps and walk down some of the narrower streets you get a good taste of the area on your way to your accommodation.
We were greeted by Chery who was covering for Laura while we were there and she was very friendly and helpful.
The studio was exactly as described, with the best bit being the use of 2 bikes, we explored far more of the city than we would have without them - so highly recommend it for that alone. We would love to stay again if we come back to Amsterdam.
