Great place! My 2nd time in Amsterdam in 20 years. I probably wouldn't have chosen this neighborhood as my 1st choice, but the flat itself is so great,and a good price, I'd do it again. As for the neighborhood, it's basically where a lot of the coffeeshops/pot scene is. But even so it's pretty mellow, and the flat itself is on the edge of it all, so not in the middle of it. A nice walk along the canal just outside the front door takes you on a great journey right into the sweetness of Amsterdam. June in the city, just perfect. Communication was great - they let me check in early, I couldn't have asked for more. Fridge, newly refurbished place, comfy bed, nice table and chairs, killer view.
