Our stay at Emiel & Laura's was very pleasant. We were there for about 6 days (5 nights) and were able to settle in quite well. We were able to walk from Amsterdam Central to their apartment daily which is about 40min walk (casually) and if we were in a rush, we could take public transit very easily. The neighborhood was Beautiful and quiet, with a lovely canal 2 blocks away and Vondelspark & museums close by in the other direction. Communication with Laura was very easy. She and her daughter Aimee greeted us when we arrived.
