to & from
We took the train from Paris. It was so easy and so much fun! We flew home from Amsterdam, back to San Francisco, on a direct flight.
Where to Stay
We stayed at Hotel Sebastian’s and we loved it! The decor is a little ornate for my taste, but the location is great and the staff was super friendly and helpful. They have a fun bar in the lobby, and a great breakfast. The rooms are a little small, but that is typical of European hotel rooms unless you stay a big hotel chain.
