This apartment in Amsterdam might be the closest to the city center while still providing a quiet and calm neighborhood. City center was reachable by foot within 15 mins, there were lots of great cafés and bars nearby, and the apartment itself is very lovely and roomy. The terrace is an amazing place to sit multiple people and enjoy the view.
I can highly recommend this place if you are up for taking the steep stairs to the top, which I believe is hard to avoid in Amsterdam.
Thank you to Anna for being such a kind and responsive host!
