It's right in the centre, walking distance from the most important museums, on the edge of the canal district. Big windows at the front with a great view on a park. Very quiet and peaceful but just around the corner from a very nice shopping street with the best coffee in town (Koffiesalon!) nice restaurants & typical Amsterdam pubs (kroegen).
This apartment at a great location, is the ideal base from which to explore Amsterdam. Walking distance to all the major attractions jet very quiet at the park. Ideal for a couple, or three persons as the sofa turns into a comfortable bed. Families are also very welcome. There's a playground just in front of your house in the park. There is 1 double bed, which can be made into 2 singles, and one sleepingsofa for 1 person.
There will be no kitchen in the apartment, but you won't need to cook with such an abundance of bars and restaurants around the corner in the Utrechtsestraat and Rembrandtplein.
I'm sure you will enjoy your stay at my place.
Please note: The beds will be standard made into two singles, but if you want and request this beforehand, it can be made into one double bed.
