I had a wonderful time at Rose's b&b. Her place is beautifully designed -- light and airy and spacious -- and impeccably clean. There are two tram lines that leave less than five minutes away, going to the center of Amsterdam, the closest train station (station zud), the street markets, and just about all the major attractions, and there are several cafes and restaurants, as well as the arts walk, close by. The breakfasts were very filling, with several pieces of bread and egg and Rose's delicious crepes, and Rose is amazingly friendly and hospitable -- getting to know her was one of the highlights of my trip.
