Mattijs’s place was perfectly located for my needs. In the center and a nice walk from AMS Centraal. There was an Albert Heijn just a few blocks away, below the W Hotel, which I highly recommend for a nice view of Amsterdam. It was an oasis of relaxation after I walked a good 10 miles around the city center with the most comfortable, plush bed. The room was beautifully decorated and I actually enjoyed the Dutch stairs. Nothing like stepping out of your comfort zone and trying new things. The breakfast cafe was a nice walk along the canal away, and the food was delicious. I would definitely stay again when in Amsterdam.
