This is an easy place to stay at. We basically flew in, followed Paul's directions to get to the place and get in, using a lockbox, dropped our stuff off and hit the city. The location is excellent for hitting local spots, with public transportation nearby, but our option was biking, with a rental place not too far away. Paul is an excellent communicator and went out of his way to make sure we got checked in and ready to roll. As other reviewers have mentioned, you will get some street noise, but after hours/early morning it's very quiet. I packed ear plugs but didn't use them. Loved all the great food at the nearby Albert Cuyp Market and the gelato next door was terrific!
