Richard's apartment is very nice and comfortable. It is very close to the Tram 2 line that passes in front of countless Amsterdam attractions, a ride on this line is such a spectacular experience!
During the tram ride you will see the beautiful Museumplein with the Stedelijk Museum, the Van Gogh Museum and the Rijksmuseum. Then Leidseplein square, then pass in front of the Paleis op de Dam (Royal Palace).
The journey from Leidseplein to Dam runs through the center of Amsterdam, passing through the narrow Leidsestraat, the famous flower market, beyond the Spui and in front of numerous monumental buildings. And along the road, of course, all the canals that make up the only channel belt. Finally, the terminus is Amsterdam's main station, Centraal Station. Practically a tourist tour !!! :-) It has two very close supermarkets where you can do your shopping and where to find everything. I would recommend only one thing to Richard. To install some extra support in the bathroom for the towels seems nonsense but sometimes it can be useful :-) Thank you very much Richard da Valerio and his daughter Emily from Rome :-))
