Our family had a wonderful Christmas/New Years stay in E’s flat in a quiet, ideal neighborhood, so close to beautiful shops and cozy restaurants, the art museums and Vondelpark, and best of all, only two short blocks from the Cornelis Schuytstraat stop of Tramline #2 (named by National Geographic as one of the top 10 trolley rides in the world). We quickly adjusted to the steep stairs to the 3rd and 4th floors (USA reference) and loved the unique adventure of “climbing home” to a refuge from the holiday crowds, to rooms filled with natural light, cityscape views and old Dutch charm. We gave E’s fantastic espresso maker quite a workout while leisurely enjoying the comfortable common spaces which accommodated our family very well (we have young adult kids). E and his daughter could not have been nicer! I would love to stay here again.
