First of all, Ton is a fantastic host! My husband and I really enjoyed our stay at this place and Ton was very accommodating and friendly. The flat is even better than the pictures, large and bright... and very interesting. Great internet, and Ton even let us use his printer to print our boarding passes. One minor problem arose when Ton's neighbors decided to have an all night rave-style party, obviously out of Ton's control - but something that did significantly interfere with our sleep. Ton was very apologetic and made us coffee and fresh juice the next morning, which made up for the lack of sleep. The flat is situated about 25 minute walk to the city center, but you can hire bikes to cut that time in half. Amsterdam is a beautiful city and very enjoyable when exploring by foot. Ton will be happy to provide you with a map and directions, or any suggestion on what to do. We would highly recommend going to Zaanse Schans (15 minutes by train) for a tour of a picturesque windmill village/museum. Overall, we had a wonderful stay at Ton's and would recommend this place to other travelers.
