Tessa's place was in a great location - and really easy to get to the sights and back again if you needed a rest during the day; the city centre (Dam Square) and the museums were only 10 mins by tram or approx 20 mins walking. The spacious flat was in a quiet neighborhood with many good restaurants and shops (our family especially enjoyed the pancakes at Mook) - and Tessa sent a list of recommendations that was very useful. A really good base to visit Amsterdam.
