I was a little concerned about being ran over by a bicycle, the weather was cold and rainy, but heck who cared. We found the little quiet shops off the beaten path, to treat us a little better than the "tourist" shops, we managed to get up and out early, have a treat, go to breakfast, go to "feels good", get our day started, then proceed from there, have dinner somewhere, go to "feels good", and back to the hotel, we were all over the place, and I do not think there could be a bad location to stay at.
dam square is cool, rembrandt square pretty cool, but I like centre, just seems best for me...looking forward to returning,,,
