Karin's place in the Pijp district is a great basecamp for exploring A-dam.
We were quite pleasantly surprised at how lively the neighborhood was nearby-- so many good restaurants from which to choose! If you love oysters, there are at least three great seafood bars within a couple of blocks. Yet the apartment itself is on a side street away from the bustle, so it was quiet.
And the bed was so cozy, we had probably our best nights' sleep of our two-week Europe trip there.
The shower felt great after a long day of travel and trekking about town.
The morning basket of pastries and juice was a lovely touch.
All in all, a great stay and a wonderful host.
