This was the perfect place to stay; it's only fifteen minutes from the city center, right off the tram, so it's very easy to enjoy the city sights. Flavio was such a gracious and kind host, it was very easy to share the home with him. The thing I really liked about this location is that we could still be close to the city, but because the house is in a residential area, we could also pick up ingredients at the local supermarket to save costs. The IJburg neighborhood has everything you could possibly need, and Flavio has everything in the home (cooking appliances, etc).
