The location absolutely cannot be beat. Good restaurants nearby, supermarket 2 streets away, great access to the tram and other transportation. Erik and Ernestine are super hospitable and welcoming and are happy to answer any questions or give tips on what to see and do during your stay in Amsterdam. They also have an amazing library and record collection. Beds were very comfortable, kitchen had what we needed for coffee and to make light breakfast and snacks. Shower was pretty roomy for European standards. I highly recommend this place.
