Max's home is in a quiet residential area about a 15 minute walk to the center of the hub bub of canal life in Amsterdam. If you're a walker, like to get a taste of residential life out of the tourist areas, this is a great location. It was quiet, safe but steps away, great local restaurants and grocery stores. You can also easily catch a bus or tram from this location. The bed and comforter was VERY comfortable, the kitchen had what we needed and it was a relaxing spot to come back to each evening. Max is very communicative and gave us a nice list of areas and restaurants to visit.
