The apartment is very nice, and situated in a great neighborhood (that is not overrun with tourists), right on the Jacob van Lennep canal and right near the wonderful Vondelpark. Great cafes and restaurants right around the corner, and the trams are easily accessible. There's also plenty of street parking nearby.

The apartment is in easy walking distance of several well-stocked grocery stores - a couple Albert Heijns and an Ekoplaza. The kitchen was very well equipped and we were able to prepare all our own meals without any trouble.

The apartment is small, but beautiful - clean, bright, well appointed, and fully stocked with everything we needed for our stay. It has a tiny playroom in the back --- great for kids!

David was an excellent host. He always responded promptly to any communication from us. He was out of town during our stay, but he was great about nominating people to receive us and help us in his absence. Martin, the friend of his who received us, was very patient in tolerating our extremely tardy arrival at the apartment.
