The location is central, central--you are in the middle of it all. It's super easy to get to from either the airport or central station via Metro. There's an Italian cafe across the bridge for a morning pastry and espresso. I cannot emphasize enough how in the middle of Amsterdam this spot is, and it's about a 25-minute walk to the Museum campus--it's a really pleasant walk, as well. Leonie was super responsive, and we were pleased those responses! My favorite part was the deck and the deck duck who popped over to say, "hi" a couple of times when we were outside on the deck.
