This top-floor studio on a quiet street was perfect for our three-day weekend in Amsterdam. The windows face a back garden zone , so there is no traffic or bar noise (and at least when we were there, not much noise from neighbors). There is plenty of light during the day, but full curtains and blinds when you need privacy. We rented bikes from a shop a few blocks away and could easily get anywhere in the center city area within 5-15 minutes. This neighborhood has quite a few good restaurants and wine bars focused on natural wines, which was really nice! Stay here if you want to be close to museums and the canal district, but not in the intensely touristy zone. We will rent this flat again the next time we visit!
