This little apartment is a wonderfully arranged, cozy but with a tardis effect, it seems so much bigger on the inside... the proximity to basic necessities are more than covered. As this things go in Amsterdam, everything is around 1- 5 blocks away: grocery stores (including about 3 different ethnic stores), bakeries, breakfast/lunch spots, restaurants (our favorite being the Turkish spot on the canal, Florya).
other things we'd enjoyed: Sonos sound system, transit maps and tourist books, ground floor apartment, and most importantly good vibes from the owner!
