Mike greeted us upon arrival and departure and was very helpful when I struggled as usual with the European washing machine instructions. Great location! We easily walked to Van Gogh and Rijksmuseum from there (@18 min). Albert Cuyp open air market and nice park are both right there. Short walk to #4 tram to downtown. After seeing how crowded and touristy downtown was on a Sunday afternoon, I was glad I wasn't staying there. The apartment is small but very efficient. The steps to it are steep and narrow as indicated but we 2 seniors had no difficulty managing that. (Dave McKinnis)
