Xiong was travelling while I stayed at his place, but I had a good experience nonetheless. Coordinating check-in and check-out The location was excellent (only a 20-minute bus ride to Central Station), but those visiting Amsterdam for the first time may want to be closer to the action. The apartment was spacious, quiet and clean, as advertised. I also appreciated the use of the full kitchen. Grocery stores and bus lines are also nearby, and the surrounding area has a beautiful bike/walking path nearby.
