Let me first start by saying that Amsterdam is a fantastic city to visit. So much to see and do :-)
Secondly - If you are looking for somewhere to base yourselves then this is the perfect place! In the north district of Amsterdam this is an idyllic spot to stay in. Great bus and metro links to the city or a lovely 20 mins walk down the canal to the free ferry (every 5mins, 24hrs a day!) Very close to the city but you really don't feel like your staying in one.
The space itself is lovely, very comfortable, clean & private with some lovely little touches. Rene was the perfect host and was full of very helpful information on getting around and places to eat.
A really great place to stay, highly recommended!
