Our staying at Paul and Esther house was wonderful. The room is newly renovated, including the bathroom. The entrance is private and the hosts are super sympathic. Paul gave us many usefull informations about trasnportation ans tips for eating out, which was very nice. Getting to Amsterdam is really easy. The bus stops right in front of the apartment (there are buses every 5 minutes in the weekdays) and gets to the Noordpark metro station in less than 10 minutes. Noordpark Station is only one station away from Central Station, which means you can get from the apartment to Amsterdam central area in less than 15 minutes. You also can walk and take a ferry for free, but I havent used that option.
Paul told us that it's going to change the windows very soon, which will turn the apartment in a even better experience, with more privacy. With this improvement the room wipl be tbe perfect choice in Amsterdam. Nice hosts, good location (away from the Amsterdam craziness) and with excelent amenities.
