Loved loved loved the neighborhood and Paul was the perfect host. Left us everything we needed, including espresso (I'm addicted and now must find one of these machines in the states), beverages, maps, stroopwafels and a prepaid coffee card. Great private garden! He also checked in with us twice to make sure everything was okay. Close to Vondelpark (fun bicycle outing - try to spot one of the wild parrots) and many of the key museums. Tons of restaurants and cafes close by. Would definitely keep this as our first choice is we were to return to Amsterdam.
