Very nice location central to many major museums which we wanted to see. We walked a lot and only took public transit to/from AMS Airport. Harm is soft spoken and accommodating. Beware, the stairs are like climbing a ladder, typical of homes in Amsterdam, 3 flights with no lift/elevator can be difficult, we only had carry on luggage because I read other reviews.
We also picked up the Museumkaart pass 60 Euros/30 days (multiple in/outs to over 400 museums) which, with some luck we were able to visit 8 museums, Anne Frank's Home (Awesome museums) & a visit to the Keukenhof Tulip Farm. The Keukenhof was definitely a grand finally but was the only additional cost @ 49 Euros, to the Museumkaart! We used a tour company to transport which included entry fee, about 45 minute van ride. They are only open for 2 months a year and we went the 1st day they were open on 3/22 this year. We made good use of the Museumkaart and definitely payed for it in entry fees. We are avid walkers/hikers and walked an average of 6 miles per day for the 4 days we were there.
Also very helpful is the free Rick Steve's Audio Europe App, it includes many free audio talks about culture, walking tours & general travel & local information.
WARNING with traffic, pedestrians have little rights in the street and need to give way to bicycles, scooters & cars, I almost got run over by a bicycle a couple times, they do not slow down if you are in the bike lane.
