It is wonderful to walk alongside the waterfront with several nice terraces

Also theaters like Theater Carré & Stopera (Opera theater) are nearby or reached by metro in a minute
The Sarphatipark, the Oosterpark, various (neighborhood) stores & a large supermarket are very close by.
The famous area The Pijp with the Albert Cuyp-market starts right on the other side of the Amstel bridge.
It's very easily accessible by both public transport and by bike The connection to the city is more than excellent including the tram (line 3) and metro, less than 150 meters away from our apartment (metro station Wibautstraat) with quick access to both the Train Station "Amstel Station" (one stop) and the Train Station "Centraal Station" (four stops) with the old city center in between.
