Our hosts, Carolien and her husband, were very kind and welcoming. We were shown where everything we needed was to be found. They even left us fruit and wine. Plenty of local markets and eateries in the neighborhood. The trams were available at the end of the block that could take you anywhere. The Van Gogh and rijkmuseum is a walk away. The description was accurate. Lovely to wake with a view of the canal. Would love to return sometime.
