Merin's place is a beautiful, bright, airy, cosy and quiet apartment with a very stylishly designed interior. It was spotlessly clean and had everything we needed. My partner was particularly taken by the beautiful gas hob for cooking his eggs in the morning! Merin very kindly left us eggs, butter, mini chocolate easter eggs and a lovely loaf of bread for us on our arrival. It was a really generous touch and was very much appreciated. The apartment was perfectly situated for us during our stay in Amsterdam for 4 nights. We were driving so we needed parking - and we were able to park the car around the corner for free (Parking is free on weekends and on bank holidays). We love walking to explore any city we visit. The apartment is situated within walking distance of the Jordaan area - great for food and bars/cafes, art galleries, markets etc. - and indeed within walking distane to the city centre (you will explore so much more of amsterdam along the way!). But if you prefer to take public transport, you can take a metro (No.s 12 or 14) which stops 2 mins from the apartment and will take you as far as the Rijksmuseum. Very convenient. But we walked into the city most of the time.
I would highly recommend Merin's apartment - we thoroughly enjoyed our stay there.
