Our home is located on a neighborhood street very close to the city center and a really wonderful park called Westerpark. The building used to be a convent so it is full of old details. However the whole place was recently renovated so all the amenities are new. We love this location. You can get to every popular place in Amsterdam in under 20 minutes, Trams and trains are close by. Yet in 25 minuted by car you can drive to the beach or other nature areas as well.
