The apartment itself was very clean, tidy, and appropriately appointed. The pictures give it justice. Ruud, our host was very personable and offered up some great ideas for places to eat and visit as well as where to park. We drove into Amsterdam and like most cities, parking can be quite costly. We ended up utilizing the cities park and ride program, which meant we parked at the old Olympic stadium and rode the trolley back, which dropped us very close to the apartment. The total cost for the parking and tram ride for our overnight stay was less than $7 for us three travelers in total. We ended up eating at some of the restaurants which were less than a 5 minute walk from the apartment as well as visiting some local bars. All in all a very nice place to stay!
