Kate's place was the perfect place to stay in Amsterdam. It was centrally located, well within walking distance to many fun places and public transport was easily accessed. We were even able to take a bus to the outskirts of town to see Muiderslot Castle, which was truly fantastic. Kate had solid recommendations on local attractions as well as restaurants. She suggested an italian place nearby that was out of this world, the margherita pizza was amazing. One of us is from New Jersey and has a very discriminating taste when it comes to pizza! The amenities were great, we were able to make coffee every morning in the room and have a light breakfast. Pubs and cafes were right around the corner as well. We were jet lagged when we arrived and the only downside to sleeping in the most comfortable bed in Amsterdam was that we slept until noon on the second day by accident. Totally worth it, though! We wish there were more than five stars to give, because we would give ten!
