Wow! This was the most beautiful place we stayed on our 4 city European visit. The interior is so well done, with the barn doors, the lighting, the huge table, and the best windows. We arrived late due to flight delays and it was raining. We used Uber to get to and from the airport. As soon as we climbed the steep steps ( definitely not for the out of shape person) and got in and opened the windows, we were rewarded with a great breeze throughout. I nearly wished I could stay in the flat instead of exploring Amsterdam. Of course we did explore and this is in a great location for that. One day we walked north into the city center and explored the canals. Another day we walked west and shopped at Albert Cuypmarkt and continued to the museums.
Lora left great tips for the area and we took her advice on a couple restaurants, museums, and shopping. It was also a nice touch having the chess board at the table. We spent any down time in the flat playing chess and doing a few loads of laundry in the nice washer and dryer (separate machines)
