The location was perfect for what we wanted but not for you if you're purely visiting Amsterdam as a tourist. It's a great place to relax and disconnect from the busy days in the city centre. Marta was beyond friendly and really helped us out with anything we needed or questions we had. The animals were amazing too--the snuggles are real!!
Definitely buy the multi day bus pass while you stay. Luckily Marta recommended this to us before we left the airport and we saved a lot of money buying the pass straight away!
