The apartment feels very authentic to Amsterdam and really added to our experience of the city. Frank is a very welcoming and interesting host. He kindly gave us a map of the area and spent half an hour drawing on it to show us where we should go. There are loads of nice places to eat within a couple of tram stops and there is a new food hall about 100 yards from the front door which offered a variety of meals from different parts of the world. Thoroughly recommend this place as a base if you want to see a less touristy side to Amsterdam.
