A very large one-bedroom apartment in a great location in Oud West. It's beautifully decorated and newly renovated. Minutes walk to the necessities of life and easy access to the rest of the fun in Amsterdam. I typically stay in the Centrum area. This was a nice change to a calmer, more typical area of the city. Dids is a perfect host and a warm, friendly person as well. Easy check in / check out and a nice treat to find some basics in the refrigerator to get started when we arrived. The neighborhood is calm and friendly, but still part of a busy city. It's a second floor apartment over looking the street and metro line. There is street noise, you have to expect it in any city. But as is common in the allure of Amsterdam, the street noise wasn't an issue, it's part of the symphony of the city.
