8 minute walk to Anne Frank house and close to very cool local shops and restaurants like a place with herring sandwiches. Also very close to barney's farm if you are into that sort of thing. Walking distance from Amsterdam central station and I walked to all the district s from there no problem. Gordon was easily accommodating with my midnight check in and is very nice and helpful. Gave me an adapter because I forgot mine in the u.s. and always wants to give you as many danish as he can. Very good host.
