The home was hip and beautiful. It really felt like her home. A small backyard with seating was quaint and serene. All the amenities you can think of including a wonderful BATHTUB (and shower)! No TV. Friendly neighbors who were helpful to us. Anja had very detailed and helpful instructions for everything from where to eat and how to recycle. A family friendly neighborhood. About a 10 minute walk from the Amstel Station in Amsterdam, it does take a bus or another train to get into central Amsterdam for most of the big sights. There were restaurants and plenty of amenities nearby. If your looking for something a little quieter and an interesting place to stay, I highly recommend.
