This place is nicely located on the east side of central Amsterdam, just far enough from the hullabaloo of the party and tourist areas , but close enough that you can walk there or, at worst, take transit (two minutes to a bus stop with service to Centraal Station every ten minutes). There are several restaurants around the block where this apartment is located, including a breakfast joint right beneath the apartment. If you're a night owl, be mindful that ambient restaurant noise and aromas may enter the apartment first thing in the morning if you leave the windows open overnight. Ivan couldn't meet me, but his wife made sure the check-in process went smoothly.
