Honestly, the pictures don't do Erik's place justice. It was wonderful having access to the roof and the balcony for sipping coffee and wine on pleasant Amsterdam afternoons. We took advantage of being next to Vondelpark, plus other conveniences are very close like a Jumbo for groceries and a Black Bike rental. Really enjoyed staying outside of the craziness that is the inner canals. But when we wanted to visit the craziness it was only a 15 minute bike ride away.
