The apartment is lovely, and the location is absolutely perfect. Although it's on the edge of a bustling area of restaurants and shops, the location of the apartment in the back of the building isolates it from the street noise, and it's a quiet oasis in the middle of everything. If you like jazz and classical music, the Jazz Café Alto is literally around the corner and the Amsterdam Concertgebouw, one of the great concert halls of the world, is a pleasant stroll across Museumplein. Most of what we wanted to do was within a 10-15 minute walk, and even the museums that were in other neighborhoods, like Anne Frank House and Rembrandt House, were not more than 20 minute walk. In a city center where many apartments involve narrow, steep stairs, the ground floor location was fabulous! Daan and Mireille were available if we needed any advice or information, and they even left us stroopwafels when we checked in!
