This place has, beside the excellent pastry, the best shrimp croquettes in town. 

Authentic café. 

My pilates studio for many years. Only great trainers. Very nice people. A warm, welcome, professional studio for training during all hours. 

My favourite and neighbourhood bookstore. With a good selection of books and a balanced selection of magazines. If possible I buy my books here. I want to support small business. 

Fotomomuseum housed in two monumental 17th century canal houses. 

Where I buy most of my books and magazines for work. 

View from my studio. I love the view from my studio. It is at the University campus and has a great architectural mix of old and new buildings. It is special to have such a large area in the centre of small Amsterdam where it is quiet, no traffic and no stores.
