Petra was a gracious host. From Schiphol it was an easy sprinter train to the RAI then the #4 to Stadhouderskade. The location was only a few blocks from there. Grocery stores, The Alfred Cuyp Market, restaurants are all within walking distance or a short tram ride. As mentioned, the stairs are steep but manageable. We were very pleased with our stay and look forward to next year's trip! THANKS PETRA!
