Else's place was a perfect spot for our stay in Amsterdam. It was clean and modern, and there was plenty of space for myself and my 3 travel companions to stay comfortably. The rooftop space was one of our favorite features because it offered up great views of the city. We found that the location was perfect because it was just outside of city center, so there wasn't as much noise and commotion, but it was still surrounded by plenty of shops, restaurants, and parks. We were able to walk to almost anywhere or easily jump on the public transit to get around. We also had a rental car for our travel farther outside of the city and had no problem finding parking on the street (which you have to pay for daily). One thing I will note is that the stairwells are narrow and the stairs are steep so be sure to pack as light as possible to make it easier to carry your luggage up and down :) Else was a gracious host who was very communicative and offered up some great tips and suggestions for restaurants and places to see during our stay.
