Great location for first time and frequent visitors of Amsterdam alike. The neighborhood is close to the city center, the touristic attractions etc by way of trams right by your doorstep. If you want to avoid the touristic locations, you are right by De Pijp, a neighborhood worth exploring and coming back to in its own right. Lieke was helpful, easy to communicate with through out. Her place has all the amenities you would need for a short visit, up to and over a week if need be.
