The apartment is very, very well located in a not-too-touristy section of Amsterdam, yet getting to the main canal rings is extremely easy… especially with the bicycles that are provided! It's very close to an excellent food bazar (Ten Kate Markt) and the excellent Foodallen. Ed is an excellent introductory guide to cycling in that city, offering to show us the “rules of the road”, adjusting seat heights and tire pressure, and offering to answer whatever questions we had about what was happening locally. There is a well thought-out selection of maps and small guides, and re-fillable cards to use on the local transit are thoughtfully provided.
Also, the apartment is appointed with an excellent selection of coffee, biscuits, snacks, products in the bathroom that any modern traveler might need, the ability to do laundry… the shower has great water pressure and temperature control.
Ed is a font of knowledge and a kind human. He is happy to introduce you to the city and tell you what might be happening that day… he let us know what was happening in Vondelpark each day!
A pleasant experience.
