A tranquil and peaceful place to stay away from the city center. Takes approximately 30-45 minutes of walking plus trams to get to Amsterdam attractions, but well worth being away from the hustle and bustle at night. There is a "farmers market," which is actually an extremely well stocked source of every manner of groceries, about a 15-20 minute walk over the locks near the apartment. We stocked up on basics upon arriving and used the apartment's abundant kitchen amenities to prepare breakfasts during our stay. Marion and Curt were pleasant and helpful, and responded almost immediately to all email communications.
