The location was great- very convenient for those guests that were interested in seeing museums or visit Concertgebouw. (Tip: I saw a great orchestra at Concertgebouw, bought a ticket at the kiosk minutes before the show and they offered a under 30 discount.) Trams were very convenient in the area; both coming from Centraal station and to the airport as well as visiting throughout Amsterdam. Location felt very safe, even for a solo female traveler. DP was always available for recommendations. Pommie was a cutie, he did bark though when guests went up/down stairs, but is harmless and loves pets. Only big problem was Pommie goes to the bathroom in the dining room corner and it started to smell in the dining room area for the last two days of the stay.
