What a fun place to stay! So unique and gave us a great sense of Amsterdam beyond the city center. It's spacious and comfortable. It's about 25 minutes by foot and bus to the city which is a drag when you're carrying luggage, but fine for regular tourist days. The cost savings compared to staying in the city made this well worth it in addition to just the experience of being in a unique place. The pancake restaurant, Stroop, just a two-minute walk, was delicious. No English menu, but very welcoming and helpful servers. Full of families and kids. On the walk to Stroop you can see beautiful full gardens (and pigs) -- which you'll later find on your plate.
