Bob and Wendeline's home is a real gem with bright light, artful and modern decor in the Oosterpark neighborhood of Amsterdam, just 15-20mins from Centraal Station via trams or a metro. An Uber ride took 12 minutes and cost last than 10 Euros to Centraal Station on a quiet holiday morning. It is also easily reachable by rented bikes, which you can park in front of the house.
We were greeted by a lovely friend of theirs while they were away, and Bob and Wendeline had provided a guide and info on house details with tips on their local shops and restaurants. The house is steps away from grocery stores, a great café, and family-friendly restaurants on the Beukenweg/Beukenplein as well as on Linnaeusstraat. We highly recommend Mamma Dough and Eddy Spaghetti restaurants, which B+W recommended. Though their names seem simple, they had delicious and sophisticated offerings for pizza and pasta, respectively, at decent prices. Albert Heijn is nearby, as well as a lovely organic grocery store called Marqt that is open late on Linnaeusstraat.
Regarding the house, we were super comfortable, found everything we needed. Don't be surprised by the steep stairs to the second floor, which is common to Amsterdam homes (best for families with children who are independent on the stairs). If ever in Amsterdam again, we would love to stay here again if available!
