If you want to feel Amsterdam, then it is the best place to stay! The apartment is located near the city center. You need about 15 minutes walk to get to the city center, I highly recommend walking but if you will be tired you could take a tram and you will be there in 1 station, the station is in 200 meters. There is the Zoo in 5 minutes walk and also a very nice park over the bridge where you can sit on the grass and enjoy the breath taking view of canal. The best thing I enjoyed in this apartment was, after the whole day I was walking in Amsterdam, enjoying the Architecture of this beautiful city and thinking how great city it was with all citizens, finally when I walked in the house I felt as I was part of it and I miss that feeling very much. Thanks Eva for that great opportunity!
