We had three wonderful days staying at Sophie’s apartment, which is very well equipped, comfortable, warm and quiet. The location is close to a good supermarket, lots of interesting independent shops and restaurants, including good vegetarian and vegan options.
The area is well connected by a tram network and is within easy walking distance of several art galleries and museums, including the Mauritshuis which has fantastic examples of famous Dutch and Flemish paintings. If you enjoy graphic arts, the Escher museum (Escher in Het Paleis) is just down the road and also well worth a visit.
Sophie is an excellent host, very knowledgable about the area and gave us lots of helpful suggestions. We had a wonderful stay and very much hope to return, and perhaps get to watch the sunset at the beach and visit a few more of the galleries and museums.
