Just pulled up a map of downtown to search for the intersection my budget and convenient lodging for a week in Amsterdam. The wife is a huge history nut and I mostly like looking at the architecture. No clubbing, nothing stronger than beer, no threesomes. Roughing it, when we’re on vacay as a couple, is defined as a “major flag hotel that doesn’t have 24 hour room service.” We’d like to explore as much as possible on foot (/public transportation). We’re totally down for a boutique apartment, though, if one comes up.
Anyone have a favorite semi-posh location that can be had for <$200 night in the shoulder season (October-ish).
Great info! I’ve never been, and the wife was hustled though on a high school tour a few years ago (as a chaperone).
I’m always a bit hesitant to ask in a locals sub/community/magazine, as some are intolerant of tourist posts, esp in popular destinations. I’ll keep that magazine in mind as we work through the details of our stay.
Your hesitancy is well appreciated. That’s why we have a pinned Question & Answer post though 😅
