As mentioned in previous reviews, Sander is a very gracious host. Our flight was delayed by 7 hours so we arrived quite late. Sander made the effort to make sure the house was stocked with breakfast items so we didn't need to make a trip to the store in the morning. The house is located in the center of everything. We walked everywhere - Rijksmuseum, Anne Frank, Van Gogh, Heineken, etc.. you get the picture. The area is a big hub of activity. We're from New York and this was like a cross between the Village and Columbus Circle. Since we were traveling with our daughter and her college friends this could not be more perfect. Plenty to eat and drink which was great. Theaters, skating rink, canal boats, taxi stand - it was all right there. The house itself was charming. All Meile appliances, and we LOVED the Quooker! Sander has this water faucet on the sink that ejects boiling water that's perfect for tea. Word of caution: be prepared to climb stairs. The house is very vertical - very Dutch. The stairs are narrow so this is not something for your 80 yr old grandma. Like I said - we had college girls so no problem there. All in all, we had a great stay.
