What's great about this place, is that it's located in an authentic, non-touristic, up-and-coming Amsterdam community, at walking distance from trendy eateries, including a pizzeria and Vietnamese. The three-story house is stuffed with books, and exudes a love for life and cooking and art. The metro to central Amsterdam is a 10 min walk, 5 min and 3 EUR ride (or you can take a ferry at ~15 min walk). You can park your car in the street at 13 EUR a day. Overall a great experience for our family of 4 (sad to be welcomed by someone who did not know many details, and an outdated house manual)
