This is a wonderful apartment with a great view. Very quiet building and the beds are comfotable. The neighbourhood and the whole Noord area is very trendy and relaxed, lots of nice bars and restaurants. The ferry is not that close, but a bus will take you to Amsterdam Centraal Station quite quickly. We rented bikes from Amsterdam Bike Company, next to the ferry. Jan-Douwe wasn’t there to check us in, but his friend did an excellent job. Jan-Douwe was accessible throughout our stay via Whatsapp.
