We arrived a bit early, and Thi Vân was very accommodating. She greeted us personally and gave us the “lay of the land”. We especially enjoyed the proximity to Vondelpark, which became our preferred route for walking up to the more tourist-centered areas. It takes about 30 minutes to walk to the Museumplein, for example, but strolling through the park was a relaxing way to get there. Although we were a bit outside of the sites, we did enjoy returning to a more residential area at the end of the day.
There are a number of grocery stores ( with freshly baked pastries), bars, and well-rated restaurants close by. One evening we picnicked at the apartment, enjoying the activity on the canal and on the street.
We really enjoyed our stay!
