Our family had just arrived into Amsterdam from America for only our second time ever visiting Europe so needless to say we were both anxious with anticipation but also tired from jet lag. But our host Ian could not have been more gracious by taking us in and showing us the different tram lines to get to the city. His apartment was just what we expected from the listing as it was cozy for the three of us and situated overlooking a canal in a very quiet neighborhood. If you are looking for food options close by, we highly recommend a cafe you can see across the river called Cafe Kostverloren.
