Better than described. Very bright and airy. Convenient to the Metro, supermarket, local restaurants, pubs, and trams. Regina was very accommodating. The place was very welcoming and comfortable. Our only wish was that we could stay longer. Please note there are many sets of stairs to navigate (this is typical in Europe) but if you are not accustomed to this, please consider this. It's not a problem at all. We enjoyed the close proximity (via Metro) to the center of Amsterdam but the quietness of the place upon our return. Some nice restaurants, pubs and bakeries in the neighborhood.
