Communication from Jamal was exceptional. The location is perfect for doing the “touristy” things. Just 2 minutes from a tram stop and 3-4 to the metro. The metro is only 4 stops from Centraal and ran every 3-5 minutes. There is a great breakfast place right next door. The place was clean and modern. Overall the perfect jumping off location to explore Amsterdam. We highly recommend Jamal’s place!
