We were met by a very nice girl who explained everything about the flat and the neighbourhood. The flat was perfect for us - homely, charming and easy to be in. There are good sleeping, eating and washing facilities, enough hot water for all of us and good heating as the weather was mixed. We had a really good sense of what it must be like to live in Amsterdam. The wifi is excellent too and the flat was clean and felt very secure. The garden is an added bonus and great for kids. The area is great for families - good eating nearby and close to the museums and centre.
