We had a great time at Ellen’s! It’s about 30 min away from CS if you take the bus and the ferry.
The room was spacious, clean and well equipped. There was also a baby bed and a high chair for our littlest one.
The neighborhood seemed safe and quiet and there was a supermarket right across the street.
We went to this awesome restaurant right by the ferry to have breakfast. It’s called Pilek and we loved it - go there if you want a cool unique Amsterdam experience but not touristic!
We recommend staying with Ellen if you want to be a little outside of all the city madness. It’s an easy travel downtown! Just make sure you check the bus schedule for the later nights.. the bus went every 30min.
