If you are visiting Amsterdam soon I would highly recommend Michaels apartment. Although located a few miles from the central canal ring, the location of the property allows you to explore and experience so much more of Amsterdam. The journey in to the city centre not only takes you down quaint canals but also through the beautuful Vondelpark. I would throughly advise getting bicycles, although the tram is only 15 minutes to Central, by bike is only 20 minutes and a lot more fun.
Although Michael was away for our stay, his parents welcomed us in with a lovely bottle of wine, gave us a guided tour of the accommodation and the best ways to see in Amsterdam. Amazing apartment, and the pictures really do the flat justice!
