The flat comprises the second and third floors of a 1652 townhouse with a completely private entrance, located on a quiet (pedestrian only) street in a lovely Amsterdam neighnborhood. Beautifully restored, amply appointed with modern kitchen and bathrooms, the flat provided a great home base to explore the city. Although only a 10 minute walk to the central train station and to the Niewmarkt, there is no sense of excessive noise, tourism or reveler-traffic. Both the Rijksmuseum and the Van Gogh Museum are about 30 minutes by foot, along lovely streets. Arjen is an ideal host, always accommodating and available. An outstanding experience.
