Anne was a very kind host. She waited for us to arrive from the airport and left us a map of the city and a bottle of wine! The place is rather conveniently located and overlooking a canal. Tram stops are not too far away and the airport bus stops at a walkable distance. The one thing that took me by surprise was that the apartment was on the topmost floor, and I've to say that it was a steep climb. But then I'vent been to Amsterdam before and had no idea about the constructions there.

The neighbourhood is fine, and being next to a canal, gives you a feeling of peace as you gaze outside. There is also a balcony, but couldn't use it in the rainy Dutch winter so we spent the time watching television when we were in the apartment. There was not much space inside to keep our things, so the baggage remained inside for most of the time. It would've been nice to have some drawer space or hangers, but was not really a problem for such a short trip.

In general, we enjoyed our stay and it was a great place to experience Amsterdam.
