Laetitia was easy-going and gave us good information. We were 3 ladies staying 4 nights attending a conference at RAI – easy accessible via metro or by bike – can recommend you to hire bikes at Black Bikes.
Very spacious and modern apartment by the Amstel canal – be aware of many stairs – keep you in good fit 
Nice restaurants nearby, also a smaller grocery – close to city centre. Nice neighbourhood with one downside – it’s a construction area for the time being – quite noisy during working hours, but very quiet during the weekend.
Absolutely recommendable!
