Willem's place was exactly as described. It was the perfect size for our family (2 adults, one teenager). The neighborhood was quiet but within walking distance of the museums and zoo. It was easy to get to public transportation as well to visit some of the many other wonderful sites in Amsterdam. We got there a little earlier than we could get the key but one of the neighbors was nice enough to let us put our luggage inside the building so that we could begin our vacation by getting on a hop on bus (stop located just a few blocks from the apartment) to begin getting acclimated to Amsterdam.
