Because the city of Amsterdam proper is so CRAZY, staying just outside of the city in a place like this was perfect! Especially when you consider the host provides bicycles free of charge. With these bikes you can ride to a nearby tram station and enter and exit Amsterdam as you please. This gives you the experience to live as the Dutch live.
My only negative about this stay would be the facing of the apartment’s front door. The apartment faces an incomplete garden, a business entry/exit gate and a neighbor’s rear yard used as to repair cars.
The room is new and comfortable. The host is very approachable and helpful. There is also a very serene couch by the canal at the front of the main house. A nice place to have morning coffee or a day ending cocktail.
All and all, an extremely enjoyable and functional location.
