I stayed here for 10 days and it was just what I wanted — plus the landlady is the kindest, sweetest person ever! She cheerfully helped me wrestle my heavy suitcase down the stairs and deal with the King’s Day crowds. A truly gracious and kindhearted host!! The apartment was spotless with a very comfy bed and the bathroom was also spotless and fully modernized. Perfect location on in the northern edge of the Jordaan district — about 20 feet from one of the canals and near stores of all kinds, from small supermarkets and bakeries to good restaurants and art galleries. (As with most houses in Amsterdam, be prepared for a steep flight of stairs - if you have mobility issues, stay in a hotel with an elevator.) There’s a reason this place gets booked up: it’s the perfect retreat in the heart of Amsterdam!
