Excellent location in a diverse bustling neighborhood with access to multiple coffee shops and markets to visit in the mornings. Access to trains and buses going anywhere in the city and walking distance from the historical and beautiful center if your feeling in the walking mood. Highly accessible area. Also walking distance to de school so much fun. Glendon went above the mark in offering local information and tips on what to do and by maintaining correspondence throughout the trip to keep me safe and in the know. I love the old world charm of his place. And it was an authentically Amsterdam neighborhood very easy to meet new friends and be immersed into a new city new country. Loved the bird watching at erasmus park, try and spot the parrots.
