This is a very good stay for a long weekend. The house is modern and well equipped within the classic Amsterdam frontage and Steve and Marlie were friendly and flexible hosts. Those who are unsteady on their feet or with very young children, be advised that the staircase is open i.e. no handrail or bannister.
The neighborhood is really fantastic, with loads of independent shops, green and friendly with a relaxed, community feel. The Café de Toog on the corner is the best pub I've been to for years, where you can while a way a day and an evening drinking craft beers and watch people come and go.
