It´s a very pleasant place. it may seem a little far away from Amsterdam center but, using the tram line 2 (Westalangracht stop is only 300 meters away) you may reach the main Amsterdam touristic attractions in 10 (Museumplein) to 25 minutes (Centraal Station).
Location is interesting and very quiet. The internet connection is very good so, if you have time to be at home you´ll always be as online as you wish.
So if your main concern is a place where you can get quickly to Amsterdam main attractions, even prepare some meals (we did some times) this is clearly a very interesting option.
