Fantastic location. You can walk to many restaurants and do sightseeing from the door, but it is just outside the really busy areas, so it is much quieter than other areas. It is only a 6-minute walk to a tram if you want to go further afield. Be aware that the apartment can be locked from the outside when you go out, but not from the inside. The host's family lives in the building, but if you have young children, this may not suit. Highly recommend the boat tour from next to the Rijksmuseum, we booked in advance on the get your guide website. You can walk there from the apartment.
