This property is located a short walk from the busy parts of downtown Amsterdam and about 20 minutes from the main train station. One could use the Metro but it is not much faster. The room we stayed in was to the back of the property and thus fairly quiet. The room was however rather on the small side. If you are in Amsterdam for a weekend getaway, it may not be a big problem but if you travel for longer and thus have more luggage, be prepared to have a suitcase or two in your way. The room we stayed in had one chair and a low round table. If you need space to work, and don't like the idea of sitting on the bed, you might want to use the lounge downstairs instead.
