This location is great for people that want at least a little buffer between them and all of the canals, tourists, etc. That being said, all of that is only a short 10 or so minute walk away so I loved the location. Some of the sites are a bit further but it gives you a great opportunity to walk the city and Amsterdam is a VERY walkable city....something you want to take advantage of. The bed was comfortable and the shower if newly remodeled and very spacious. This is nothing fancy but a great value which is what I was looking for since I wanted to be out exploring Amsterdam! Wilbert was an excellent host and greeted me with a smile the moment I got out of the taxi. He was also very responsive to messages both before and during my visit. I would definitely stay here again. Great for someone looking for value. Near tram lines too so if you are not up for walking those are only steps away.
