Anne-Marie is a perfect host, and her home is a terrific base for exploring Amsterdam. The photographs of the apartment and garden are accurate. It's a charming and immaculate place in a quiet but interesting residential neighborhood conveniently located in Amsterdam North near the city center. After a quick walk, you take a ferry to Central Station, which gives you access to everything by foot or public transportation. The ferry runs every few minutes and then takes a few minutes to cross the IJ River. We were amazed by how quickly we could be wherever we wanted to go. Amsterdam North is itself a very cool place, and there is a wonderful JUMBO supermarket just a few blocks from Anne-Marie's home. Be sure to go to the Lookout as A'DAM so that you can get sense of how the city it laid out. Simply put, we loved our stay!
