The Blue House is just a delightful place to stay when visiting Amsterdam. It's just outside the city (about a 20-25 minute bus ride), so you don't have the chaos and noise of the center, but you have the convenience and there's a little supermarket that's about a 10-15 minute walk away. Katja and Peter were very helpful to us in figuring out what was around us, they had travel and sight-seeing books available and a whole binder filled with bike paths and maps and recommendations and suggestions. This was my first air b&b experience and it's safe to say that the bar is now set pretty high.
