The apartment is very easy to get to and is in a great location, literally across the canal from the Rijk and Van Gogh Museums. Also, the Amsterdam City Hop On Hop Off bus and boat ticket kiosks are within a 7 minute walk, again beside the museums. Ruud's directions from the Amsterdam Central Station are great and accurate. The actual apartment is small but functional, the terrace is a nice place to have a morning cup of tea and breakfast. The apartment wifi worked great, I would have liked to have television access, but the dvd player worked well and I watched the movies that were provided. If you are not used to walking up very tight, winding staircases, you will need to do that, the apartment is on the 4th floor, so lots of stairs. I recommend that you bring small suitcases, it would be a real challenge to get a large heavy suitcase up those stairs...that being said, the stairs are a great workout! If you are going to buy groceries, there is an organic store just a couple of streets over from the apartment (just around the corner from the mineral/fossil store) and there is also an Albert Heijn grocery store close to the Heineken Experience (about a 10 minute walk).
