The apartment is in a splendid old building with fantastic views overlooking the canal and a bridge which opens and closes from time to time to let boats through. It’s a great neighbourhood with locals cycling around and lots of really good restaurants which we went to. There’s everything you need in the apartment and Hans really was a Superhost, giving us lots of advice and help to settle us in. Couldn’t recommend more highly as a great place to savour the highlights of Amsterdam and ‘live like a local’
