Great place to explore Amsterdam - we reached everything by foot. The area is fantastic: super cute stores, authentic bars, great restaurants ("Pho Viet", "SLA" vegetarian paradise!! & "Bagels & Beans" for the perfect breakfast) a great cinema ("The Movies") and a super-worth-to-go party location ("de marktkantine") are just around the corner. Erik makes you feel welcome the moment you step in and even provided some snackies (fresh fruit & chocolats) for us. The room is rather kept simple but had everything you need! We would love to come back & had a wonderful time - thanks again!
