Sander is an excellent host! He went above and beyond: before we arrived, he asked what groceries we'd like stocked in the house; he offered an additional cleaning towards the end of our week-long stay; and enhanced the house by adding an additional bed in the room that previously had the aerobed. The location is perfect for getting around Amsterdam and is an easy tram ride to Central Station. It is within easy walking distance of the museums, excellent shopping, and great restaurants. I highly recommend Cafe George across the canal and the Akbar indian restaurant next door.
