This place delivers! If you look at the pictures and find yourself intrigued, you should give it a shot. The room is very cozy, but it has what you need. You're right on a street and a canal, but neither seemed very busy — I didn't find noise to be a problem at all. I didn't even use the provided earplugs, although jetlag and a very comfortable bed helped with that. I only stayed for a night but the neighborhood seemed fun and busy. I would have loved to have stayed longer!
