We had an excellent, sociable stay with Gabriella and John who though not Dutch, have lived in Amsterdam for many years and have plenty of local knowledge. Our visit was comfortable, stylish and with great attention to detail. The location put us in easy walking distance of a variety of good restaurants and easy tram/bus rides to the Central Station, the museums, shopping and other sights. (Get a day pass if you're going to make more than three rides each day). The apartment is not large (but is apparently large for Amsterdam) but we were allowed as much privacy as we wanted. The bedroom was well appointed with good hanging space and a very comfortable bed, and a seat for relaxing with a view over the canal. The Autumn weather prevented us from using the terrace which would have offered us additional private space.
