Henning's beautiful loft was the perfect "home base" for exploring Amsterdam. It's neatly situated in the canal ring, but close to De Pijp (fantastic for restaurants and shops), Vondelpark (we rented bikes at Mac Bike to explore this lovely park), and the Museum Quarter. There are grocery stores and bakeries within a quick walk, pretty much everything you'd need. The loft itself is huge, with four bedrooms and two bathrooms, a professionally-equipped kitchen, outdoor space for eating, comfy couches on which to relax, and a darling cat named Buddha, who kept us company after our long days of exploring. I can't think of a better way to live in Amsterdam! Henning was very responsive to my questions, left a notebook of helpful info - the perfect host!
