Wow! History at your door step with this location. Imagine as you climb the steep staircase, how many people have done the same. 100s of years of history. The view is priceless and worth every step. The sounds drift up from the street as they have for 100s of years. We loved the interesting vibe. Turn left from the door, Red Light District. Turn right, posh shops and amazing dining. 2 days we felt like just chilling and loved having the window open with a beautiful November breeze, enjoying cheese, wine, stroopwaffles & coffee. Grocery stores and a Saturday farmer's market are the best. Marc is fantastic and happy to share information about Amsterdam. We hope to organize a tour of our friends and we will plan on staying here again. One "must visit" vibe is the University so close, the students are so polite we also loved being able to not only walk to museums and tours, but the riding stable and botanic gardens are so close too. If we could give more than 5 stars we would!
