About Wiltzanghlaan 1H, Amsterdam

The nearest train station is 2.6 km away, so it's not a quick walk. However, Amsterdam's tram and bus network is extensive, and many lines serve the area. The high address density (6,516 per km²) means frequent services. You can reach the city centre in about 20 minutes by public transport.
