Harry's home is very comfortable to stay in. It was easy to care for ourselves by cooking meals. The neighborhood is very quiet and peaceful, and worth exploring, because it is another side of the Amsterdam lifestyle with older worker housing and many homes built on old dikes, with lots of waterside walks and greenery. Transit is excellent- a short walk to frequent buses, and transfer to the Noord line which runs often means you are not more than 30 minutes maximum from central Amsterdam.
