We had a wonderful stay at Jan's place. Jan was very kind and greeted my wife and me upon arrival. He gave us good instructions on how to reach his place from the airport. The apartment is very nice, clean and comfortable and is located in a quiet area just outside central Amsterdam. The tram heading into the city center is only a few blocks away, but one could easily walk into the city's center in about half an hour - a great location for being close to the city, yet able to have peace and quiet upon at night. There are also a number of restaurants and cafes within a couple blocks of the apartment, and one of the city's best parks, Vondelpark, is close by. The only thing to be mindful of is that the apartment is two floors up from the ground level, and the stairs are quite steep. Overall, we had a great stay and would stay there again if we return to Amsterdam.
