Maarten's place is very well located for Vondel Park and there is a tram stop right outside that will take you into the city centre. We hired bikes from a place just down the road called Otto's which was a great way to see the city.
The place is big, light and airy and if you like cats, Tiger and Sweet Pea are a bonus too! Maarten is a very accommodating host. We would stay here again.
