This is a perfect place (palace) to stay. On the top floor of a beautifully renovated golden age canal house you get the true feeling of Amsterdam. It is between central station and museums with 5 tram lines on either end of the block. The rooms are beautiful and the kitchen gorgeous and fully equipped. There is a restaurant a few doors down that serves just steak or lobster which is not overly expensive but the food is incredible. A church a few doors down in the other direction had a glorious choral concert one evening. The flower market is just a 5 minutes walk. Roman was very communicative before arrival and helpful in booking a return taxi to the airport when we arrived. We had no problems during our stay. There are lots of guide books in the living room and the TV had CNN and BBC News. There were beautiful tulips in the grand lobby and the kitchen and living room. We cannot imagine having a better stay than we had!
