I cannot say enough wonderful things about Ellen and her beautiful and comfortable apartment on the Prinsengracht. My wife, our 21 y/o son and I (an Amsterdam native) spent Xmas week and loved it. The apartment is spacious, the kitchen is fully equipped, and the big dining room table and living room offer plenty of room to chat, have dinner and hang out. The location is not to be beat, and it is a charming neighborhood with lots of boutiques and restaurants, grocery stores, a bakery, wine shop, and cheese shop nearby We walked to the Westerkerk for midnight mass on Xmas eve. and to the Concertgebouw to hear Beethoven’s Ninth on Xmas day. We particularly enjoyed sitting in front of the windows with our morning coffee to watch the boat traffic on the canal and listen to the Westertoren bells in the distance. And Ellen was just a fabulous host. We hope to return to this great apartment in the future.
