Amsterdam can buzz, but the city is also full of quiet corners. In neighbourhoods like North, East, Oud-West and Oud-Zuid you sleep on green, residential streets where you leave the crowds behind in the evening. Many B&Bs sit by the water or have their own garden or terrace, perfect for unwinding after a day of exploring.
The beauty is that you are never far from the centre: by tram, metro or bike you are among the canals within fifteen minutes, then you return to the calm. That way you combine the best of both worlds, a lively city by day and a peaceful place to sleep.
