We really liked the location as it was outside the main area of Amsterdam, yet you could get there so easily. The ferry was very accessible. The markets at the weekend close to the house were terrific! The place was very clean and checking in was easy. The back garden is more of small patio and the front garden is more of a path. Overall, Considering the location and the amenities, a little on the expensive side but Mariska was very communicative and we were able to find our way there easily .
