If you go to Amsterdam and want to stay in the city, you have to be up for all the action a tourist city like Amsterdam can provide. Lots of energy and activity. You will be in the heart of it by staying here... having said that, this apartment on the top floor provides a nice escape from the street bustle. Bedroom is not street side, which is a major bonus. If you stay in the Summer time, dont worry about cooking on the top floor! The family is kind enough to provide an Aircon unit. I really like the place, and I am hard to please. If you are doing downtown AMS, this apartment is a cozy base. Enjoy!
