So glad we ended up here! We visited Amsterdam for the first time to celebrate our 25th anniversary. After reading guide books, watching travel videos, and comparing properties, we finally settled on this one and it turned out to be a great decision. Amsterdam is a super busy city. The city center (Dam Square) is always flowing with so many bicycles, tourists, street trolleys, and boat tours. This property is about a 15 minute walk or 5 minute trolley ride away but is still in the heart of the canals. The particular canal it is on is very quiet but is completely beautiful. There are bakeries, restaurants and a trolley stop 100 yards away but it is still peaceful compared to the rest of the city. The buildings in Amsterdam are narrow and tall. We stayed in apartment 6 which is on the top floor. It does requires three flights of narrow, steep steps but that's the way most buildings are in the Netherlands. We LOVED coming back to the room every evening. It had tall vaulted ceilings, a cool european style bathroom, a tiny clothes washer/dryer, and a functional kitchenette. But the view! There is a sitting room with a double window that looks out of the canal and nearby river. Every night, we opened the window and enjoyed the fresh air and amazing scene below. Seriously, I don't think you'd find a better spot if you're wanting something convenient, comfortable, quiet and scenic. If you're OK with a few steps to climb, I think you'll dig this place.
