The apartment is a great base for exploring the city. It's only a 15 minute bus ride from Centraal station, or a half an hour walk. It is definitely worth walking as you get to see so much more. The amenities are great, we were easily able to cook meals rather than go out each night. Laurence is a great host, provided lots of information about the local area and was easy to contact with any queries we had. Highly recommend booking this apartment for your stay in Amsterdam.
