Ivan's place is in a great location just outside the central city. It's a 20 minute walk from Amsterdam Centraal Station. It's about a 15-20 minute walk to get to many of the central sites like the Red Light District and Daam Square. It's far enough out that things quiet down in the evening. The neighbourhood is very nice, with a breakfast/brunch restaurant at the bottom of the building and a few cafes very close as well. The place is very clean, the beds are very comfortable, the bathroom is big for the size of the flat. We rented bikes for the duration of our trip which made it very easy to get around to pretty much all parts of the city in 5-10 minutes.
