Good location. Between the tram and walking (mostly) we were able to go everywhere we wanted. Close to museums Lots of great restaurants, shops and brunch places. Nice outdoor space, weather permitting, to enjoy a glass of wine or a cup of coffee/tea. The flat is equipped with a gas range and a combination microwave/convection oven. If you prefer to eat in there are very nice organic grocery stores and wine shops close by. The neighbors both above and next door were relatively quiet and did not interfere with a good nights sleep. Excellent area to stay whether first time or frequent visitor to Amsterdam.
