Nora's place was a perfect oasis for our stay while exploring Amsterdam. The apartment is on a beautiful street in Old Amsterdam with short walk to cafe's, restaurants, grocery/cheese shops and the canals. We were able to walk to the train station, Anne Frank house and several of the museums during our stay without any problems just remember that bicycles have the right of way in Amsterdam. The apartment is nicely furnished with everything you need for a short stay and to cook a small meal. We didn't get a chance to meet Nora, but her parents were there when we arrived and were very helpful to make sure that we had everything we needed for a wonderful stay.
