Jo is such a wonderful host! Her personal greeting and explanation of our space was not only thorough but entertaining. This apartment is within walking distance of all the tourist sites of which there are many. We enjoy walking and are used to walking fairly lengthy distances and even walked to the Ann Frank museum and back with no problems. If you have problems with cobble stones you may not want to attempt that far but there are many other sites just a few blocks away. The neighborhood felt very safe and was quiet at night. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would stay again if we make it back to Amsterdam!
