My wife and I recently stayed 4 days here in Amsterdam. René & Ellen were excellent hosts, the place was clean and a good temperature for saying it was going through a warm spell without any A/C. The Metro was in great condition, only a short 10-15 minute walk from the house and was running regularly throughout the day/evening. It was not an issue making it in to town. The walk by the canal was very relaxing and had beautiful views!
