Accom in Amsterdam can be expensive so the Maas was a good find as it is fairly reasonable. It is located near the American Hotel near Leidseplein and about a ten minute walk from Museumplein, the main museum area. It is also on the canal and very near a drop off point for the canal boats that go around the sights.
I found the staff to be very helpful with anything you wanted and of course like all amsterdammers, they all spoke amazing English too.
Many of the trams go through Leidsplein so its a great place to connect to other parts of the city. Also if you are into going upmarket with your shopping, then P.C.Hoofstraat is only aronud the corner as well.
