I’m writing from the perspective that I’m an Airline employee with Diamond status at Hilton hotels and we spend 200+ days on the road a year. The neighborhood is wonderful. The apartment is in a perfect spot for local market as well as restaurants. The layout works well and is on the first floor. We though it may be an issue, but they have done a very good job of setting it up as your not in view of everyone waking by. The neighbors are respectful of evening hours. I plan to stay here again as we are often in Amsterdam.
