I would recommend to stay in a kind of an apartment like this one rather than in a shabby touristic one in the direct city center. The neighbourhood is very colorful, diverse with all kinds of fantastic multicultural food, dutch handmade shops and beautiful bits of nature at every corner. We even needed a bit of time to explore the surrounding first before visiting the main sights. For itself, the apartment felt cosy and well thought, yet adjustable windows in the bedroom/main room with blinds to keep the light out in the morning would have been nice, since the first night was pretty warm (27 degrees in Amsterdam) and we wondered what would happen, if it were even hotter in the summertime. But after all, that was our only complain and we highly recommend to stay a bit further from the city center to get a glimpse of the authentic mindset of the Dutch.
