Great stay in Amsterdam if you want to be close to the shopping area!
Museums and spiegelquartier were about a 15 minute walk.
You have to walk up some pretty steep stairs to the flat so make sure you don't bring too much luggage!;)
Vanucci was a very helpful host and gave us great restaurant tips.
Ps.: affordable parking in the centrum of Amsterdam at oosterdok parking, for 15€ per day
