We had a lovely time at Ellen and René’s.
The apartment was perfect for us and very well kitted out for all needs. It has an idyllic settling, lovely garden…. with our news friends Chick and Chook ( the two chickens in the garden)…and is in a great location that is a lovely short scenic walk along the canal to the metro, which is one stop from Amsterdam Centraal Station.
(We bought the 3-day pass and saved money from the moment we got off the plane!)
Staying locally was good too. With the handy convenience shop and several restaurants nearby as well as great walks. We sampled the Thai restaurant based on René’s recommendation and it was delicious.
Amsterdam is a beautiful city; we hope to come back and would happily stay here again.
