We stayed at Sally's apartment as were taking part in the Amsterdam Half Marathon. Before we arrived we thought the location may be a bit out of the way but it was absolutely fantastic. There is a supermarket and bakery within 200m for all the essentials and breakfast items. There is a cafe/bar and a lovely restaurant within 100m. Vondelpark is also very near with lots of things to do and a 20 minute walk has you in the heart of Amsterdam. We hired bikes, on Sally's recommendation, from a shop that is very close the apartment and enjoyed exploring the city.
The apartment has everything you could need and is very clean, tidy and well maintained. If we were to visit Amsterdam again we would return without hesitation.
