This is a great location for most everywhere in Amsterdam - especially anything at Vrije Universiteit (really only 5 minutes walking if the traffic signal is long). The tram/metro stop is about 4 minutes walk and is easily navigated to central Amsterdam and all the museums and sights. The apt is very comfortable. Great bed, nice shower, nice kitchen, and a lovely view from the balcony. It was walking distance (approx. 10 minutes) to the grocery store & a small shopping mall. Fantastic host. Kun was communicative, organized, and easy-going. I really enjoyed my stay here and would recommend the location, apt., and host!
