Bronte's family apartment is a wonderfully homey place in a nice neighborhood along Westerpark named Bos En Lommer; it's well-served by transit taking you to both the Vondelpark/museum area and the city center. Bronte provided us with not just basics about the apartment, but numerous suggestions on transit, restaurants, and cafes prior to our arrival, and provided a really easy way to access the apartment since she was out of town during our stay (but we had a caretaker contact we only had to use once for a minor question). I couldn't recommend this spot highly enough for a warm home base from which to dive into the uniqueness of Amsterdam. *
* The only note I might make concerning this place was that my partner (who is sensitive to scents) found the sheets and bedding to be a bit too perfume-y. Only noting that for folks who might have similar situations. But other than that, the place was great.
