Having just finished 2 weeks of cycling, for us Marie Sophie's apartment was a wonderful well positioned haven to rest and from which to easily get about Amsterdam.
Situated near the lovely Vondel Park, it made for pleasant walking through the park to the museum area. The no 2 tram was a great alternative and had the advantage of continuing on to Dam square centre, a more touristy area if required.
Immediately around were several good restaurants, wine bars ( Raleigh and Ramsay an example) and a convenient supermarket. The street itself was quiet, the neighbours friendly and the multitude of parked bikes helped us feel we were almost local.
The apartment itself was lovely; simple stylish but relaxed with light from either end of the living area.-windows at front and French doors to a courtyard garden area at the rear. The kitchen was impressive and everything one could need was available.
The apartment was full of flowers as a result of Marie Sophie having had a recent accident so that was an additional delight for us, if unfortunate for her. We didn't get to meet Marie Sophie under the circumstances but were met by her very nice friend.
