This apartment embodies many of the merits of Amsterdam. It is on a relaxing spot by the water's edge. You can reach it by bus, without transferring, from Centraal Station. The room itself is very comfortable, but with a modern feel, and a really efficient use of space. There are books galore (we chose, for example, to peruse a Norwegian coffee table book of the artwork of Hieronymous Bosch). Take the time to cross the red pedestrian bridge and stroll 15 minutes to several waterfront restaurants (but it'd be best to get walking directions from the host). Speaking of the host, Caspar couldn't have been more accommodating. And we enjoyed meeting his two friendly dogs. I would definitely recommend this place, and stay for more than one day if you can.
