You can't imagine the better location which is crucial when you stay in such city as Amsterdam. The street is both quite and close to everything you might need . A lot of good places to eat and hang out around. And we never had any troubles with sound of trams or cars from the street and never used the ear plugs Jacqueline offered. The apartment is beautiful with some spirit of old Dutch apartments which goes along with comfort and very nice host whose tips of places to go were of a great use. Highly recommended!
