Ad and Anna made us very welcome and they had thought of lots of little extras to make our stay enjoyable. Supplies of tea, biscuits and a good coffee machine mean you can relax immediately, as well as juice and drinks if required. We especially liked the big wall map and extra information about places to eat, drink and visit. Although we knew this area a little we were able to discover a lot more with the tips and walking routes they supplied. This is a spacious and extremely well kept studio with lots of character and a great shower room. It is tucked down a quiet street but is close to bars and restaurants - there's even a good one at the end of the street. Within 2 minutes you are on the main canals and the '9 Streets' area which is full of great independent shops. We love the Noorder Markt (Saturday) and it was lovely to be close enough to visit quite early before it got too busy.
It was also extremely useful to have a place to leave our luggage after checking out and pick it up later.
