This is the perfect place! It is close enough to downtown Amsterdam to be able to get there quickly, and yet far enough away to be able to enjoy quiet parks and even a nearby lake where you can swim!
The metro station is about a 10 minute walk, and if you use the bikes (which we did everyday) you can be pretty much be anywhere in less than 30 minutes. Don't be afraid to take the bikes as there are many paths and quiet streets to take if you don't want to ride on busy roads.
The flat is lovely, clean and very private. You have a separate entrance from the main home. There is a gorgeous yard that you can use and you can see the park from the large windows of the flat on the second level. We made all of our meals and the kitchen is well stocked with all you might need.
Marloes and Gabriel are super nice and always made sure we had everything we needed. They offered to pick us up at the metro station when we arrived, and then gave us a drive to the metro when it was time to leave.
I would absolutely stay here again if I returned to Amsterdam!
