There are two stories having Hans as a host. One being being welcomed by Hans, being our host one could not have ever expected anyone better, He alone made this trip to Amsterdam such a fantastic experience. This was our 6th visit to Amsterdam staying in both Hotels and BNB´s, he made it feel as if we were in our own private apartment.He also has just about every map one needs to get around the city. The second part is the location which was like being in a fairy tale, the apartment overlooks a busy canal and directly across from a DRAW BRIDGE which was very active during the day light hours. It is a very old bridge thus many modern boats were too tall to sail underneath. The canal was very busy with all types of crafts, tour boats, working barges, and both very large and expensive private yachts down to little row boats. A word about the neighborhood, it was magical, from a breakfast restaurant which cannot be topped, pouched eggs a specialty plus other plates guaranteed to blow away any thought of a diet. Right across the street you will find two fine restaurants and one specialized in Indonesia fare. Next to the apartment is a local bar with plenty of outdoor tables, they do have some great sandwiches and munchies. Finally a fantastic Italian spot which is run by a husband and wife who I do not believe ever have known a stranger. The food oh yes beyond delicious. A long block away is a bus stop with the destination of Central Station and
from there the entire city is within reach. For the both of us the entire picture made this a trip we will never forget. Last but not least this is a very quiet neighborhood , a good nights sleep is guaranteed. Thank you Hans.
